I have consolidated billing set up and am linking brand new accounts to
those payments_account_id & payments_profile_id
I am using almost exactly the same code that is provided in the examples
but receive the below error: Also, when running the code I will always get
the error. However, if I go into the GoogleAds UI and click into Billing >
Settings and DO NOT setup any billing. After I exist GoogleAds and rerun
the code it runs perfectly fine. Below are the error and code used.
I am receiving this ERROR:
errors {
error_code {
billing_setup_error: FUTURE_START_TIME_PROHIBITED
}
message: "A start time in the future cannot be used because there is
currently no active billing setup for this customer."
