Think a ₱1,000 daily budget means Meta will spend exactly ₱1,000 every day? **Not necessarily.** 💡
Your daily budget is an **average spending target**, not a strict daily charge. Meta may spend more on days when it finds better advertising opportunities and less on other days.
Here’s what you need to know:
✅ Meta may spend up to **75% above your daily budget** on a strong day.
Example: ₱1,000 daily budget = up to **₱1,750 in one day**.
✅ If the budget stays unchanged for the full calendar week, Meta will not spend more than **7× your daily budget from Sunday to Saturday**.
Example: ₱1,000 daily budget = maximum **₱7,000 for the week**.
✅ Changing your budget on Wednesday does **not** begin a new rolling seven-day period. Meta recalculates the budget based on the remaining days and hours until Saturday.
✅ If ad set budget sharing is enabled, Meta may use higher spending limits to share budget between eligible ad sets.
The key lesson: **A daily budget controls your average spending—not the exact amount spent every single day.**
