What it does
Turns a single Google Ads AD on or off, or DELETES it: status 'ENABLED' to enable / publish / resume / unpause an ad, 'PAUSED' to pause / stop it, 'REMOVED' to delete it for good. It turns on ads (an RSA, for instance) that were created PAUSED. REMOVED matters during an iteration cycle: Google allows only 3 enabled RSAs per ad group, so revising copy repeatedly leaves dead paused ads behind that keep occupying the group — removing them is the only way to clean up. Removal cannot be undone, the ad and its history are gone, so pause first if you are unsure. For the whole ad group use update_ad_group_status, for the campaign use update_campaign_status. confirm=false → dry-run.
