Hello Phil, My understanding of the default AdWords production setup is that each campaign is limited to 2000 ad groups. You can obviously have multiple campaigns per account, and the 2000 ad group limit applies to each of the campaigns individually.
I'm not aware of any public documentation for these limits, though they should be in effect regardless of whether you're using the API or the AdWords web interface to manage your accounts. There might be some flexibility to waive the limits (for both the web interface and the API) on a one-off basis if you work with your AdWords account representative at Google, and if you currently have a campaign with over 2000 ad groups then perhaps that's what happened. That's outside of the scope of what I normally deal with involving the API, so I can't comment authoritatively.
