Search ads - $0 Spent in 3 Weeks

Hello everyone,

I started a Basic Search Ads campaign about 3 weeks ago, but $0 has been spent so far.

The status has been "running" this whole time. I even put my Max CPI well over Apple's suggested price. My payment method also seems to be fine, so not sure what's going on.

Has anyone else had this problem?

How is Basic going for you? Did it get any better? I started a Basic campaign recently. After the first day it seems Apple just stopped serving the ads for my Basic campaign. I also tried increasing the CPI but that hasn't been successful yet (I'm going to give it a little more time).

What's weird is I can only find the Ad in the App Store on a direct search of my app name. My concern of course with that is Apple charging me for installs on a direct search of my app by name (since they place the Ad over the organic result). If the ad is being served as a result of other search queries, I haven't been able to find it. Of course if Search Ads starts getting my app valuable installs all is forgiven but I haven't really seen Basic do anything so far.
