What was reported

The fault affected boosts of posts that were already published. Estadao also reported it. The impact was on creating those ads, not on running ads.

Was it a ban?

No. It was a technical fault. Accounts were not disabled for it.

If a boost still fails

Check payment and account status. If both are clear, try again later or create the ad directly in Ads Manager.
