Solution

  • As stated in docs related to bidding

    The bid amount's unit is cent for currencies like USD, EUR, and the basic unit for currencies like JPY, KRW.

    In your call you use bid_amount=1, daily_budget=3, which means 1 and 3 cents. For bid_amount that may be relevant amount (depends on used billing_event), but for budget it's too low.

    You can see minimum budget values for different currencies in budget limits docs.

    Also note that not all currencies use the same offset, which means not everywhere 1 means 1 cent. Those offsets are documented here.
