"Account suspended: Your ad account has been suspended."
In short
Your ads are not delivering because TikTok suspended the ad account they belong to. Read the reason in Ads Manager, then fix the problem or appeal within 30 days: after that, TikTok makes the suspension permanent.

Where it shows up: in TikTok Ads Manager, in the status column of campaigns, ad groups and ads, as the secondary status under “Not Delivering”.
Why it happens
- The ad account is suspended. TikTok’s help center lists “Account suspended” among the reasons a campaign, ad group or ad shows “Not Delivering”: the ad account was suspended, so all its ads stop.
- The status is only the symptom. The reason (a policy violation in ads or on the landing page, for example) is given in the account’s suspension notification, not in the status.
How to fix it
- In TikTok Ads Manager, read the reason for the suspension in the notification and in the Account Health tab.
- Fix what TikTok points to (the ads or the landing page in question), then appeal from the notification.
- Do it within 30 days: TikTok’s help center says a suspension that is neither fixed nor successfully appealed by then becomes permanent.
What worked for other advertisers
In the most-confirmed r/TikTokAds thread on suspensions, media buyers describe the same appeal routine:
- Open a short, polite support ticket asking for a review and offering to verify your identity, without over-explaining. 3 replies confirm it, one adding “it worked without me even sending the documents!”.
- If the answer is a permanent suspension, reply in the same ticket with an ID and a bank statement in the account holder’s name, and ask for a new review.
- If the ticket stalls, close it and open a new one, and close every ticket of an old account before creating another one in Business Center.

How to avoid it next time
- Check the Account Health tab regularly: the reason and the appeal live there, not in the campaign list.
- Don’t open a new ad account while one is suspended: advertisers report quick new bans, and TikTok treats it as circumventing its rules.

Frequently asked questions
My account got suspended without any reason. Where do I see why?
The status itself gives no reason. TikTok’s help center says to read the reason for the suspension in Ads Manager, on the account’s suspension notification and in the Account Health tab.
Is it the same as “Your account has been suspended.”?
It is the same suspension seen from two places. “Account suspended” is the status shown next to each campaign, ad group or ad that stopped; “Your account has been suspended.” is the account-level notification that gives the reason and the appeal.
Should I start over with a new account or a new domain?
Advertisers who did report new bans within days, and TikTok treats new accounts opened to get around a suspension as circumventing its rules. Fix the cause and appeal first.
How long do I have to appeal?
30 days, according to TikTok’s help center: without a fix or an accepted appeal by then, the suspension becomes permanent.
