Before we dive into the resuming process, let me explain what resuming ads on Instagram means.

Resume An Instagram Ad: Troubleshooting Common Issues
If you cannot resume your paused Instagram ad, try these recommendations:
- Check connection: Internet connection errors can interrupt your resuming process. Check the network connection status. You may try to restart your modem and router.
- Press F5: Try to refresh the page or exit and open the app again. This may help resolve technical glitches.
- Update app: Make sure to update the Instagram app on your phone to the latest version to avoid incompatibility.
- Reset spending limit: Your Instagram ad may fail to run again because you have reached your account spending limit. On Instagram, go to Settings and Activity > Business tools and controls > Ad payments > Payment methods > Account spending limit > Edit > Change. Enter the new spending limit and click Save.
- Update payment information: Incorrect payment info can be the culprit. You need to confirm that your payment method info is correct.
