Delivery for the day dropped, but performance as measured through CPA (or ROAS) remained stable.

Ultimately, we're trying to maximize profit. So, we advertise until the cost per incremental conversion is greater than a customer's ltv.

I'm a layman in availability and how your service relies upon it,

But how can your engagement from clients be "the same", despite half the availability?

Does this imply that all else perfect andavailable,every day, you could have a volatile swing of up to 50 percent engagement?

If so, that seems really really silly to drop 10k+ on daily, if on half of all days you don't NEED the platform for half the day...what am I missing?

Essentially, it's 'engagement per dollar', not 'total engagement'

CPA should be affected, seems like FB is giving an artificial measurement. Reminds me of the Big Short.
