Hi Visweswar, That's a lot of questions, I'll try to answer them as best I can. If you have more questions, just follow up on this thread.
1) The old report center could hold upto 15 reports, the new report definition can hold upto 100 report definitions. If you exceed that limit, the oldest report will be deleted. 2) If you are using the old AdWords API reports, then this can take from a few seconds to several minutes. The exact time period depends on how much stats you are pulling in your report. If you are using the new reportservice, then it is lot faster. The report definition typically gets created in a few seconds, and server imposes a 3 minute timeout when downloading reports. See http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/reference/latest/ReportDefinitionService.html for more details. 3) As above. 4) Could you post a specific error message / error code? 5) This depends a lot on how frequently you want the data. If you want to report stats to your user daily, then use a daily report. If monthly, then generate a monthly report. Also, reports tend to save more API units for you than retrieving the stats individually from campaigns. One of the things you could investigate is to create a report definition for daily account stats, with Campaign Id as a column, and then download that report daily. 6) No, there aren't any call limits that are specific to reporting service. AdWords API in general enforces some limits, and if you exceed them, then the server will throw RateExceededError. See http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com/2010/06/better-know-error-rateexceedederror.html for details. 7) Each account can have a maximum of 25 active campaigns. There aren't limits on the number of paused or deleted campaigns. See http://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=40907 for various limits as applicable to an AdWords account.
