Description
The maximum amount you can be billed for a campaign on a given day.

For most campaigns, the daily spending limit is your average daily budget multiplied by 2. On a given day, your campaign might spend up to twice your average daily budget to take advantage of fluctuations of traffic. At the end of month, the amount you will have spent on average every day will match your average daily budget.
Why it is important
Tracking the Daily Spending Limit metric is important as it helps advertisers control and manage their daily campaign expenses effectively.

This metric provides information on the maximum amount that can be billed for a campaign in a given day, allowing advertisers to stay within budget constraints and make informed decisions about adjusting daily spending limits to align with their overall financial goals.
Formula
Average daily budget * 2
Calculation example
For instance, if your average daily budget is set to $10 USD, your daily spending limit is going to be $10 USD * 2 = $20 USD.
