Cancellations and Refunds
What happens when a campaign is paused, canceled, or fails to launch.
Campaigns can be paused, resumed, or canceled from the CLI or AIMA.
Pause
hellyeah campaign pause <campaign-id>Pausing stops active delivery without closing the campaign.
Resume
hellyeah campaign resume <campaign-id>Resuming restarts delivery using the existing campaign settings.
Cancel
hellyeah campaign cancel <campaign-id> --yesWithdrawing a request before Google Ads setup refunds its full debited budget immediately. Cancelling a platform-backed campaign stops further delivery and schedules its unspent budget to return after settlement.
Refund timing
Pre-platform requests have no ad-platform spend to reconcile, so their full refund is immediate. Platform-backed campaigns wait for final spend to settle; this protects against delayed click and impression charges.
