Thank you Anash. using shared budget might make my original objective obsolete which is providing fair amount of clicks to each campaign. I wonder if run ads at different times so that each campaign has enough budget at a given time and I don't have to increase the overall budget. if we go down this route, would there be an easy way to update the flight date for each campaign? Or I will have to update the API once in awhile to reflect the new flight date range?
