Figure I don’t have to say this, but will add it for clarity. If it’s something like 4 / — / — / 40 then that means you can only see ads from that campaign up to 4 times a day. If you see them the 4 times, you won’t see them anymore for that particular day. That Limit will restart the following day until you hit the Max limit of having seen those ads 40 times. If they had numbers in Week or Month slot, then would apply the same way.
Also to emphasize as I know someone else was confused before. I keep saying Campaign because that’s what matters. You could have a campaign with 100 ads but it says 1 / — / — / 10. This would mean you’d only be able to view 1 of the 100 ads per day and then none of the others would show. And once you saw 10, that campaign shouldn’t show up for you. So you’d never even come close to seeing all 100 ads.
I’m mentioning this because you can see the math of what’s available to you. Like I have 9 campaigns right now.
- Campaign 1 = 10 daily
- Campaign 2 = 3 daily
- Campaign 3= 2 daily
- Campaign 4 = 7 daily
- Campaign 5 = 2 daily
- Campaign 6 = 4 daily
- Campaign 7 = 1 daily
- Campaign 8 = 4 daily
- Campaign 9 = 7 daily
Total = 40 daily
If I have ads set to 10 per hour as my maximum and Brave shows me the max allowed, that means I’d hit my daily limit in 4 hours. Then I’d see no more ads at all for the rest of the day. It’s not because I’m flagged or anything, but just simply because I hit the Limit for all the ad campaigns that they have running. Some days/weeks/months there are TONS of campaigns and the advertisers pay to let people see quite a few ads. In others, not so much. So it’s always important to consider all of that together as well.
Sadly a lot of people see active campaigns and think this means they should see the maximum amount of ads per hour. But if it’s not targeting your OS or if you’ve reached your Limit for them all, then you’d be out of luck until more ad campaigns appear.
