Hi Jose, AdWords API can be used to create Campaigns similar to how AdWords UI does, but programmatically. It may look like the Campaigns created via API take longer to complete the "learning" phase as compared to Campaigns created in the UI. It'll take AdWords a while to adjust bids for newly created Campaigns and Bidding strategies. Changing bid strategy settings may also prolong the learning period or prevent AdWords from accurately adjusting bids. Since the manually created campaigns were added via UI later on, they can leverage the performance from the learning phase of your other campaigns and thus seem like they are completing the learning phases faster as compared to campaigns created via API. Please see this guide <https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/6263057> for more details on bidding strategy statuses. This guide <http://services.google.com/fh/files/helpcenter/aw_search_automated_bidding_guide.pdf> provides more details on automated bidding in AdWords.
If you don't set the target spend amount, AdWords will attempt to use the remaining daily budget of the campaign using this bid strategy. Please see this guide <https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/6268626> for an example on how targetSpend and daily budget are factored into automated bidding.
