This applies even if you switched off Dynamic Image Extensions at account level. Existing PMax campaigns keep their current settings. It covers campaigns created in the interface, Ads Editor and the API.
Image extraction is separate from image enhancement, text customization, Final URL expansion and video automation. Each one needs its own check.
For agencies: if you create campaigns through the API, set GENERATE_IMAGE_EXTRACTION to OPTED_OUT in your template. An unset value will no longer behave like an explicit opt-out.
Watch out: updating asset_automation_settings replaces the whole list. Fetch the current settings first, or you can wipe another automation setting.
Google also asks you to confirm you hold the rights to use those photos in ads.
