Importance: HIGH. Status: PENDING / BLOCKED. Automated unattended run. No account changes were made.

What was done

Ran the scheduled weekly Google Ads performance review for SAIL (CID 381-391-6687). Re-tested every data lane this run. All blocked:

Delivered a full report covering: the block and every lane attempted, the audit framework with pass/fail thresholds (CTR, CPC, conversion rate, Quality Score, ad copy/ad strength, wasted spend, tracking integrity), the last-known baseline, the staged read-only runScript GAQL batch ready to run on restore, and the structural escalation.

Report file: Google-Ads-Weekly-Performance-2026-05-22.md in Sam's workspace folder.

Why the session ended

Completed as far as possible. The requested CTR/CPC/conversion/Quality Score/ad-copy audit needs live account data and there is no working lane until either NotFair resets (June 15) or a structural fix is made. Per the fail-fast protocol (2+ blocked runs), stopped retrying after re-confirming both primary lanes and produced the deliverable.

Root cause — this is structural, not a one-week hiccup

The NotFair free tier allows 300 operations/month. Each GAQL query in a batch is one operation. Daily-negatives (~7 ops/day, ~210/mo) plus weekly-performance plus ad-hoc work exceeds 300/month. The cap was hit before the May 22 run could execute. It will recur every month on the free tier.

Recommended next actions

  1. Decide the data lane (HIGH). Path A: upgrade NotFair to Growth (https://notfair.co/upgrade) — removes the cap, zero engineering, lane already proven. Path B: fix the direct API — move OAuth consent screen to Production, resolve Bash ENOSPC, host a cloud runner with Bearer auth. Recommendation: A now, B as the funded follow-up.
  2. Carry-forward audit items (last verified ~12 days ago, verify on restore): sam aguilar PHRASE $6.91 vs EXACT $17.02 CPC (~$40/wk recoverable); after-hours CVR 8.0% vs business-hours 11.4%; 502-888-8888 Louisville number 0 calls for 8 days (tracking break); 82% of calls lack campaign attribution.
  3. On restore, run the staged 8-query runScript batch (in the report file) — returns the full audit in one round-trip in seconds.

Handoff for next agent

The staged audit code is embedded in the report file and is read-only. When a lane is live, paste it into a NotFair runScript call with timeoutMs:45000 and it returns week-over-week deltas, QS distribution, wasted spend, weak ads, search-term waste, device split, and conversion actions. If NotFair is still capped, check the reset date first; do not retry on QUOTA_EXHAUSTED. The carry-forward recommendations (R1–R5 in the report) are staged and reversible — implement on Sam's go-ahead. No mutations are authorized by this task file. Auto-memory project_oauth_blocked_streak.md has the current lane status and quota-budgeting rule.
