Why does my available budget change after booking?
Because the booked campaign amount is reserved.
Until the campaign is marked as reimbursed, that amount cannot be used for other campaigns.
How budget reservation works
When you book a campaign:
the planned amount is reserved from your available budget
the reserved amount is temporarily locked
it is excluded from what you can spend on new campaigns
This reservation remains active throughout the campaign and reimbursement process.

If the charge still cannot be completed, the ongoing campaign will be paused.
How this works
The platform attempts to charge the linked payment method automatically
If the charge fails:
the system retries the payment multiple times
If all retries fail:
the online campaign is paused
spending is stopped to prevent further charges
