Recently I have been running into several account limit errors related to 
ad group feeds. The specific account limit 
<https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/6372658?hl=en> is "250,000 ad 
group-level extensions per account" however this was puzzling as I have far 
fewer than 250k ad groups in my account.  After some investigation, it was 
discovered that there were thousands of ad group feeds related to 
previously run drafts and experiments which were counting against this 
account limit.  These 'ghost' ad group feeds still existed even though the 
experiment they belong to had been ended for months. I was able to clean up 
these ad group feeds via the AdGroupFeedService 
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201705/AdGroupFeedService>,
 
however it took a very long time to diagnose and track down why we were 
surpassing the account limits in the first place. If this is a bug, it 
would be nice if it was patched in future versions; if not, hopefully this 
post will serve as a public service announcement to those experiencing a 
similar problem.
