For the People experiencing Ad Serving has been Limited,The only Solution is (by my personal experience)

  1. Delete All Ad Unit Id's of All your Apps
  2. Wait for 7-15 days (May take even Longer) and the warning disappears

Unfortunately this is the only way (thanks to google's shitty bots),for some people the warning went away after 2-3 weeks but for me it didn't even go away after a month before i deleted all Ad Unit Id's

But now the warning might be gone but there is always a risk of it coming back in future,for this i recommend to use Mediation (Highly recommend Mopub).

Never ever depend on a single advertising partner (especially admob). You can find more info on how to work with mediation here - Importance of Mediation and why everyone should use it

Edit - Ad serving limit appears again after you do a successful live ad request, this might be because our apps are sideloaded to apk sites and google thinks its invalid traffic Try this solution for Android users Here

    Your solution works, but unfortunately when you add a new ad unit, the warring will appear again – Mouaad Abdelghafour AITALI Aug 16 '20 at 21:45

    @MouaadAbdelghafourAITALI can you try this solution https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37539949/detect-if-an-app-is-installed-from-play-store – Anish Jain Aug 17 '20 at 19:15
  • Thank you, but I see that too many apps published on Huawei App Gallery and the other store as well as the 3rd-party stores and the ads served fine in those apps – Mouaad Abdelghafour AITALI Aug 17 '20 at 20:08
  • We could use a check if the ad is shown from admob and on failure request to another ad network like mopub. This strategy can be integrated until ad limit is removed. please let me know if this will violate admob policy. – Patriotic Oct 31 '20 at 09:26

    I received this warning more than three times The solution is simply to avoid placing the ads incorrectly (start screen - before loading the page - when the user is focusing on something - do not surprise users with the ads - do not repeat the same ad more than once for one user - etc.) – midou Jan 05 '21 at 19:53
  • Hi @AnishJain, did this [solution](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37539949/detect-if-an-app-is-installed-from-play-store) which you mentioned in the edit, worked for you to remove ad serving limit? – Jigar Patel Apr 10 '21 at 06:15
  • one more best solution for this is if the user click on one ad then stop showing ads to for short time period to that user there is way to this – Sumit Apr 24 '21 at 10:19

    @midou I agree to the point of not placing the ad at start screen and not suprising the user with ads, but how do you make sure that you dont repeat the same ad more than once per user. What ads are shown to the user is not under your control right? It depends on the user browse history. This is seriously frustrating from google – chethanv77777 May 13 '21 at 15:08
  • Is it enough just to delete units from the admob dashboard, or do we need also to prevent requests from the app? – MMYurt May 20 '21 at 10:51
  • I think you might be right I was doing exactly that @midou – basit9 Jun 15 '21 at 07:31

It seems like the account was blocked due to improper usage... What happens with the app, shouldn't have any effect over the AdMob account..

  • That means that my adMob account may be disabled at anytime – user13784505 Jun 21 '20 at 10:23

    I got the same email 3 days ago. My account is been running for 6 months I recommend you to check how your ads are placed once, for me it happened when there was a large spike of adrequest and match rate couldn't keep up other than that I don't know how long it will take I really hope this gets fixed soon – Anish Jain Jun 21 '20 at 21:50
  • The problem is .. if my acount is blocked does that mean that i can't use it again anymore or just for period of time – user13784505 Jun 27 '20 at 03:15
  • @AnishJain have you got any solution => same problem happen with me as number of user increasing in my app which increase the adrequest and i get this msg in my account [Temporary ad serving limit placed on your AdMob account] – mitesh viradiya Jul 29 '20 at 05:05
