Hi Mike, Thanks for sending your information offline. I'll reply here in case others have similar questions.
1. Is an "adgroup reference" the same as an "adgroup feed"? If not, what > does each of these things mean? Yes, they are the same thing. The Organizing Campaigns documentation<https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/1704396?hl=en>is aimed at non-API users, so the terminology differs slightly. 2. If I delete an adgroup, is its feed still counted as active? Yes, unless you *also remove the AdGroupFeed* via a call to AdGroupFeedService.mutate<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201309/AdGroupFeedService#mutate>with an *AdGroupFeedOperation* with: - operator = *Operator.REMOVE* - operand = the deleted *AdGroup*'s *AdGroupFeed* 3. How can I have 9,952 feeds on 8,540 adgroups? *AdWords* arrives at this count by counting all active *AdGroupFeeds*, regardless of the status of the associated *AdGroup*. The key point here is that if you are concerned about hitting the active *AdGroup* feed limit then when you delete an *AdGroup* you should also remove its *AdGroupFeeds* (the mappings of *Feed* to *AdGroup*).
