Hi Tim, My apologies as it seems that I was using the wrong ad group ID on my yesterday's testing when I retrieved again the ad group via the API after removing the targeting optimization setting in the UI. And yes, you are correct. Once you have already set the ExplorerAutoOptimizerSetting initially via the API or UI, and you removed it, it will still be retained in your ad group with optIn <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201802/AdGroupService.ExplorerAutoOptimizerSetting#optin> = false as default.
This is the current behavior for this particular ad group setting in the API. Let me know if you have further clarifications.
