What does the Google account indicator mean (active, suspended, no payment, low balance)?
The indicator at the top of the Google Ads summary (to the left of Copy report) shows the REAL status of the account, not just whether Google is connected:
- Green: active account with approved payment.
- Yellow: payment under review, or prepaid balance running low (3 days or less at your spending rate over the last 7 days).
- Red: account suspended, canceled, closed, or inactive (Inactive account appears), no payment method, account budget ended, balance depleted, no access to the account (your Google login lost access), or Google disconnected.
Hover over the indicator (on mobile, tap it) to see the reason and what to do. With several accounts open, it shows the worst status among them. When Google doesn't respond right away (network or quota), it keeps showing the usual "Connected".
The fix for each case lives in Google Ads itself (billing, suspension, access). If it says "Google disconnected", reconnect under Connect Google. The AI Copilot and the MCP can also check the status of all your accounts at once.
