Duplicate a campaign after 6pm EST fails with "Start Date cannot be set in the past" error
When duplicating a campaign from an account A to account B after 6pm EST fails with "Start Date cannot be set in the past" error. The POST endpoint with JSON body is attached below :
------------------------------------------------------------------
https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/{account_A}/campaigns/{campaignId}/duplicate?destination_account={account_B}
{'tracking_code': 'parameter=1234', 'branding_text': 'Search', 'spending_limit': 40, 'name': 'this_is_the_campaign_name', 'daily_cap': 20, 'platform_targeting': {'type': 'INCLUDE', 'value': ['DESK']}, 'cpc': 0.5, 'country_targeting': {'type': 'INCLUDE', 'value': ['US']}, 'spending_limit_model': 'MONTHLY', 'marketing_objective': 'DRIVE_WEBSITE_TRAFFIC'}
------------------------------------------------------------------
Any recommendation on how to be able to duplicate without start date error?

Questions on Spend data
Hi there, are the Spend numbers coming from Taboolaβs API ever inaccurate, in terms of costs related to real-time clicks? Are they ever ahead or behind, or inflated to predict Spend associated with future clicks? Weβre seeing hourly data that reflects the possibility of Spend increasing before the clicks associated with it come through.
Also, what time zone Taboolaβs API is using?
Thanks!
