hey everyone, still wrestling with peacock's ad platform, seems like it's determined to keep us on our toes. just when i thought i'd figured out the 'pending with zero impressions' thing, a new challenge popped up.

this time, my campaigns are getting approved, which is great, but then... crickets. absolute zero spend, zero impressions, zero clicks, even after a full day or sometimes two. it's like they're giving us the thumbs up, then immediately putting them in a digital deep freeze. my 'CTV advertising' efforts are really getting hampered by these quirks.

i'm seeing the campaign status as 'approved' in the UI, but when i try to pull any performance data via their (hypothetical) API or just check the dashboard, itโ€™s all zeroes. hereโ€™s a pretend console output snippet, just to illustrate the vibe:

{
  "campaignId": "peacock_campaign_12345",
  "status": "APPROVED",
  "startDate": "2023-10-26T09:00:00Z",
  "endDate": "2023-11-26T23:59:59Z",
  "budgetType": "DAILY",
  "dailyBudget": 500.00,
  "metrics": {
    "impressions": 0,
    "clicks": 0,
    "spend": 0.00,
    "conversions": 0
  },
  "lastUpdated": "2023-10-27T14:30:00Z"
}

is anyone else in this boat? approved campaigns, but absolutely no budget consumption? it's not like i'm setting a super low bid or anything, these are standard 'OTT ad delivery' campaigns. any known workarounds, secret incantations, or just what gives with this platform?

really hoping for some community wisdom on this one. waiting for an expert reply, perhaps someone's cracked the code already. cheers!
