Hi @tomlag, here are a few things that might be worth checking:

API Quotas and Permissions: Sometimes, these kinds of errors come up because of quota limits or permission restrictions in the Facebook API. Double-checking your API access could help rule out any limitations or temporary caps that might be in place.

Transfer Settings: Occasionally, a small misconfiguration in your transfer setup can trigger errors like these. It might be helpful to go over your settings to confirm everything aligns with Facebook’s API requirements.

API Status Check: Since you mentioned this issue started recently when you posted, there might have been a recent change or even a temporary glitch in the Facebook API. You could check Facebook’s developer status page to see if they’ve reported any issues.

Consider Other Integration Tools: If this keeps happening, maybe try looking into another data integration tool. Windsor.ai is an option that some users find reliable for Facebook Ads data, and it might make extraction and transformation easier to manage, potentially sidestepping issues like this.

Hope this helps you!
