Yes, I am looking to be able to get this data as well. We service nearly 200 accounts so using the API for getting this status would be ideal. I know that in order for the status to trigger you need to have Lost IS due to Budget > 0%. That's pretty easy to flag, but the calculation in the background that is hard to figure out is can you increase the daily budget by some amount without increasing CPC? That is sort of the missing link. Hopefully this gets added to the API soon.
