Manager account limits
All manager accounts can be linked to a maximum of 85,000 non-manager accounts, including both active and inactive or canceled accounts. The maximum number of active non-manager accounts your top-level manager account can be linked to is based on your accounts’ total monthly spend from over the last 12 months.

Additional Limits
Notwithstanding the above, certain combinations of campaign or creative structures, or the rate and frequency at which they are created or updated may undermine the stability of our systems and processes thereby interfering (or attempting to interfere) with the functioning of our programs.
For example:
- Generating a large number of ad groups or campaigns with few creatives or keywords in each
- Generating responsive ads with significant combinations of creative content, assets, destinations or keywords
- Updating campaign and creative attributes, such as targeting URLs, frequently or with a high rate of change
- Uploading a large volume of keywords, ad groups, or campaigns across accounts
Note: If advertisers undermine the stability of our ads systems or processes, Google may implement immediate measures to maintain the stability of its systems, such as throttling or excluding specific ad entities. When appropriate, Google may issue a notification to involved advertisers with specific details to remediate the issue.
