Google Ads API to Remove debug_enabled Setting in v21 Offline Conversion Imports

3 days ago

In v21 of the Google Ads API, the UploadClickConversion method’s debug_enabled setting will be removed on August 6, 2025. Previous versions (v18, v19, and v20) will ignore this setting in requests. Consequently, ConversionUploadError.CLICK_NOT_FOUND errors will no longer be returned, as this error code is tied to the debug_enabled field being set to true. Applications using this field or error code must be updated to accommodate the new API behavior.
