What are the ad limits per Facebook Page?
Meta limits how many ads a Facebook Page can have running or in review, in four tiers set by the Page's highest-spending month: 250, 1,000, 5,000 or 20,000 ads. The limit is per Page, not per ad account, so every account advertising for that Page shares it. As checked on 2 Oct 2026.
Every Facebook Page has a ceiling on how many ads can be running or in review at once. Meta sets the ceiling by how much the Page spends, in four tiers. Because it belongs to the Page rather than to an ad account, a business, or a person, everyone who advertises for that Page shares one allowance. The figures below are as Meta states them, as checked on 2 Oct 2026.
What are the four ad limit tiers?
| Advertiser size | Highest spending month* | Ad limit |
|---|---|---|
| Small to medium Pages | Less than $100k USD | 250 ads |
| Medium to large Pages | Less than $1m USD | 1,000 ads |
| Larger Pages | Less than $10m USD | 5,000 ads |
| Largest Pages | $10m USD or more | 20,000 ads |
*Meta’s table carries the footnote “since September 2019” on this column. Meta also says the limits apply globally, whatever the industry or category.
Meta describes the upgrade as automatic, based on your maximum monthly spend. Upgrades typically happen 2 to 3 days after the Page has spent the qualifying amount, and the spend must fall within a single calendar month, such as January 1 through January 31. Meta’s example: spend the qualifying amount on March 16 and the upgrade comes around March 18 or 19.
What you can do: find your Page’s tier before you plan a large launch, rather than discovering it when an ad is refused.
What counts toward a Page’s limit?
- Every ad that is running or in review for the Page.
- All ads count toward the Page you select when creating the ad, in the identity section of Ads Manager.
- Scheduled ads do not count until it is time for them to run.
- A dynamic creative ad, an Advantage+ placements ad or an Advantage+ catalog ad counts as one ad, even when it uses many creatives.
- Ads from every ad account that advertises for the Page, since Meta says there is a single limit per Page, not per ad account, business or person.
What happens when a Page goes over its limit?
Meta says you won’t be able to run more ads or publish edits to existing ads, other than turning them off, until you reduce your ad volume below the limit.
What you can do: turn off ads that are no longer needed first, since Meta says turning ads off is still allowed while you are over.
Where do you see your Page’s limit?
Meta gives two places. The first is the ad limits per Page tool, in the menu in Meta Business Suite. The second is the ad limits per Page tab in account overview, which Meta says you can also use once your Page is within 20% of its limit; it shows your limit and ways to reduce your ad volume.
Can you cap how many ads a partner uses on your Page?
Yes. People with full control of the Page can set additional ad limits for partners and people in the ad limits per Page tool, so one account does not use up the allowance or block another. Meta says that if the Page is in a business portfolio, only people with full control of the Page can set them. An ad account under such a limit sees its maximum in the ad limits per Page tab in account overview.
Why does Meta limit ads per Page, and can more Pages help?
Meta says running too many ads at once can hurt performance: fewer ads exit the learning phase, and more budget is spent before delivery has optimized. It also warns that creating more Pages to get around the limit can hurt you. Separate Pages compete in the same auctions and bid against each other, results split across Pages can lower conversion rates, and you then have more than one public Page to manage.
FAQ
Is the Page limit the same as the ad account limit?
No. The Page limit counts ads running or in review for one Page, whichever ad account they come from. The ad account limits count campaigns, ad sets and ads that exist inside one account. Meta lists them as separate limits, so you can hit one without the other.
Do scheduled ads count toward the Page limit?
Not until they run. Meta says scheduled ads do not count toward the limit until it is time for them to run. The limit counts all ads that are running or in review for the Page, from any ad account that advertises for it.
Does a dynamic creative ad count as many ads?
No. Meta says each dynamic creative ad, Advantage+ placements ad or Advantage+ catalog ad counts as just one ad, even when that ad uses many creatives. The count follows ads, not the individual images, videos or texts inside them.
