Why wont facebook let me spend money...

I've got an account I decided to throw something up on to build up the daily spend limit but it will never max it out ($50). Here is the last 4 days spend based on 2 campaigns with ample reach and steady traffic:

6/10 $49.12 USD
6/9 $50.00 USD
6/8 $49.94 USD
6/7 $49.96 USD

What I don't get it that it will spent say $49.96 then keep running traffic throughout the night anyway, always around $5 spend after first update at like 12:10am (ckassed as next day) so why can they just not send through one more click...

I know I could buy one like polar mentioned in the video but thought while I have it I'll just up this one as I thought it would only take a week or so.

my only other suggestion would be is, if you are doing cpc.....setup a cpm camp......as those will hit the 50 mark almost every time as they can sell half a CPM but not half a click......

Have you been running close to $50 for more than 4 days yet? My spending limits have increased before without hitting exactly $50 every day. Something like $49.9x seemed to be "close enough" to $50 in the past for me.

Edit: I just checked the last account that I made and the spending for the first days went as follows.

$44.86
$50.00
$49.97
$50.00
$49.54
$170.43

^^^This is your answer. You didn't mention what your cpc is set at, but lookin at your spend for 6/7 and 6/8 you'd have to be paying .04 or .06 cpc to get that 'one more click' without going over your daily budget. It's stupid, it's frustrating, it's needless, but that's Facebook.

Just got an email saying it's been increased to $250 so hopefully can run through that with some new stuff.
