Account with wrong timezone - any fix?

Hey,

I just created a brand new account, and now I realized that it's with the wrong timezone... So my budget is not fully used, unless I leave my camps running until 6 AM local time, which is highly unprofitable in my experience. Any way around this? The daily spend of this account is still at $250, so should I risk creating another account with the same CC#, this time with the correct timezone? I emailed fb ads team already, but I know how effective they are...

Thanks!

You can't change the timezone once it's set. It's in their help section, actually. I've had the same issue several times.

Yup, no way of changing it, not gonna happen. You mention it's unprofitable to leave the camps running, so I assume you're pausing. If so, why not just operate at whatever budget you want to get the traffic desired and then pause as usual?

A year ago they had the option of changing your time zone. They removed it once folks started realizing that if your facebook advertising section is disabled, if you change your time zone, it would create a new sub-account, that would not be banned. The same thing was true if you changed currencies. Anyhow, they caught on to this and removed both options,

Yes I can do that, but since Facebook paces your traffic as to use your budget until midnight, then I would never use my entire budget, thus I'd lose the ability to deliver full volume to my campaigns right?

I guess I'll try deleting my account and creating a new one with the same CC#... If it's not banned or didn't have any problems, it should be ok right?

just increase your budget to about 150% of what you want to spend, then pause

or no, with a 250 limit that wouldnt work, since it would allways keep filling till that
