Hi Andrew,

I understand that you cannot implement new features every time someone asks 
for it but based on the fact that anyone cannot retrieve reliable data from 
Google Ads either by API or UI this is a serious issue.
You should escalate it.

Based on what can be proved anytime, the findings are:


   1. No conversions count by conv.time metric in API, so you can count 
   conversions from metrics.conversions as they appear in API
   2. metrics.conversions first store the day conversions in current day 
   and then after some hour Google moves (probably) these conversions to the 
   date they happen. This can lead to serious billing issues when a user would 
   like to take it one step further. 
   3. There is no way to have stable pricing. What you pay for the Google 
   Ads services changes over time which a fundamental issue. Even if a user 
   calculates conversion cost based on click cost at the time the conversion 
   appears in the API, this changes over time because API changes click cost 
   and conversion count.

My main concern is for App Campaigns and all above can be replayed anytime.

Mike
