Why Are My TikTok Ads Not Spending?
1) “Ad Group Out Of Budget”
The minimum budget for an Ad campaign on TikTok is $50, and the minimum for each individual ad set is $20.
Fix this issue easily by adding more money to your ad campaign. Don't be afraid to spend a little bit more money, the more room you give the algorithm to learn the better results you’ll see towards your Ad goals

2) Making Content that isn't suitable for TikTok
Spend some time in TikTok and learn about how your niche market interacts with its community. Pay attention to trending sounds, videos, and effects that your niche uses.
If you find yourself noticing the same sound or trend a few times in a row, don't be afraid to post your own take on it. Remember to act fast! Trends blow up and die quickly on TikTok so it’s important to act immediately.
Additionally, pay attention to community guidelines and make sure you don't violate them. TikTok is unforgiving in its punishment for violations, so just a few missteps could derail your progress.
3) TikTok Ads Not Spending
Here are a few reasons your TikTok ads aren't spending:
Remember, you are competing against other advertisers in the same space. Just like any auction, if you set your bids too low, you won’t see any results. Try slowing increasing bids and see if your ads start spending
Too Intensive Targeting
If you cast too small of a net you won’t end up catching anything, if you cast too large you'll end up targeting the wrong audience and wasting money. Find a happy medium where your audience is large enough to target but small enough that your ad spend doesn't go to waste.
Poor Ad Creative
Having good ad creative will help boost your ad through TikTok and engage your audience. Take some time to put in effort towards your ads. This sweat equity will pay off when your ads start to convert. Otherwise, you’ll be pushed to the side and ignored.
Conclusion
When your ads aren't spending, don't panic, TikTok is trying to help you before you waste any of your ad budget. Most likely the reason your ads aren't spending is a simple and easy fix such as not bidding enough or not allocating enough budget towards the campaign.
