Hello, regarding the limit of 20,000 listing groups per AdGroup. It is true there doesn't seem to be mention of it in the documentation, but a resource limit is in place.
I hit the limit when I tried to create 50,000 UNIT Listing Groups under a ROOT. Only 19,998 UNIT Listing Groups were created on Google, the other groups already existed previously, being the ROOT and the OTHER. For the rest of the operations that followed, I got the `RESOURCE_LIMIT` error back from Google. This is the error for one of the operations which mentions this limit type: https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v10/ResourceLimitTypeEnum.ResourceLimitType?hl=en#listing_groups_per_ad_group status { code: 3 message: "This request would exceed a limit on the number of allowed resources. The details of which type of limit was exceeded will eventually be returned in ErrorDetails., at mutate_operations[19997].ad_group_criterion_operation" details { [type.googleapis.com/google.ads.googleads.v9.errors.GoogleAdsFailure] { errors { error_code { resource_count_limit_exceeded_error: RESOURCE_LIMIT } message: "This request would exceed a limit on the number of allowed resources. The details of which type of limit was exceeded will eventually be returned in ErrorDetails." trigger { string_value: "LISTING_GROUPS_PER_AD_GROUP" } location { field_path_elements { field_name: "mutate_operations" index: 19997 } field_path_elements { field_name: "ad_group_criterion_operation" } } } } } } With this, I believe we can say that the limit is still in place with the new API. Not sure if it's supposed to be since it is not documented.
