A WebmasterWorld thread rightly asks Why does it take 3 hours to see ads - pause ads? Normally, when one wants to pause an ad, they want it paused virtually immediately. Google works that way.
One member reports, "We paused several high traffic orders and 5 hours later there's still no slow down in our traffic."
The official response from Microsoft?
The average time to pause or resume a campaign is 3 hours, it's sometimes more, sometimes less. The product team is working to make this shorter, and once we get this resolved I'll let you know.
So they are working on it.
