Hi Google Ads Support,

I'm encountering this error for long time, as I already raised this concern here - https://groups.google.com/g/adwords-api/c/jwOaSlpfA4g but could not get any updates.

Here is the error -

I was hoping you could help me figure out what might be causing this issue. I’ve already checked and confirmed that the customer account has the correct access level. The error still occurs even though the user has admin access to the account.

In my case, I’m trying to link my account to another enabled MCC. I have admin access to both the customer account and the MCC, yet the error persists. Could there be any other possible reason this is happening.

Thanks in advance for your help.
