Google Ads API v19 introduces updates to CustomerService CreateCustomerClient to align with the Google Ads UI.

New Policy Enforcement Errors:CREATION_DENIED_INELIGIBLE_MCC – Manager accounts with low spending or insufficient active child accounts can’t create new accounts.

CREATION_DENIED_FOR_POLICY_VIOLATION – Manager accounts flagged for policy violations can’t create new accounts.

Older API versions (v18 and earlier) will return OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CONTEXT.

Account Creation Limits:A RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED error will trigger if new account creation exceeds limits.

The retry_delay field indicates when to retry. Most developers won’t be affected.
