% cost err at min bid column

In a bid strategy with a cost target (such as monthly spend or CPA), the percentage of error within the report's date range that can be attributed to keywords being constrained by minimum bid limits.

To lower these percentages, you may want lower the bid strategy's minimum bid, as well as lower the Min bid for individual keywords that override the bid strategy.

For example, a value of 30 indicates that 30% of errors are caused by Search Ads 360 wanting to lower a keyword's bid to help reach a cost goal, but being prevented from doing so because it already reached the min bid value.
