Google Ads API v21 sunsets in August — three silent ways the forced version bump corrupts your reports (still 200 OK)

Short summary

Google Ads API v21 sunsets around August 6, 2026, and migrating to v23+ stacks breaking changes from both v22 and v23. Three silent failure modes can corrupt your reports while still returning 200 OK: removed enum values like VIDEO_OUTSTREAM cause spend to collapse into catch-all buckets, deleted asset performance labels return empty values instead of errors, and WHERE/GROUP BY clauses on removed enums silently match nothing. Audit your GAQL queries and enum branching logic before the August deadline.
