"Your Spending Budget Must Be At Least 'X' Because Some Changes Might Be Pending"

Introduction 

When editing budget caps in the Marin Social platform, you may encounter the following error:

Your spending limit must be at least 11.11* because some charges might be pending 

 

* The number will differ depending on your Facebook account settings.

What Causes The Issue? 

This error message occurs when you are editing budget caps by a number that is higher than the account spending limit. 

For example, if your current spending limit is $150, and you've already spent $100, the minimum you can lower your account spending limit to is $110.

Note: If you update your account spending limit, you won't be able to set a limit less than 10% above what you've already spent.

How To Fix The Issue 

To fix the issue, you'll need to either select a lower budget cap or raise the Facebook account spending limit.
