Hi Dom, Have you considered creating a Shared Bid Strategy<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/bidding#shared-strategies> that you could use across all of your campaigns? The TargetSpendBiddingScheme<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201402/BiddingStrategyService.TargetSpendBiddingScheme> may be a good fit for your use case.
Also, since you are looking at limiting the *spend* you might want to consider using Shared Budgets<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/shared-budgets>. With a shared budget you could adjust the spend for all campaigns associated with the budget at once.
