Pay Google Ads workspace debt

<Info>This API is in beta. Endpoints, fields, and behavior may still change, so avoid depending on it in production.</Info>

Charges the workspace's card on file to settle its outstanding Google Ads balance.

<Warning>This moves money. It charges the card immediately, with no confirmation step and nothing in the request that asks a person first, so treat calling it as the approval. Read Get Google Ads workspace debt beforehand to see the amount, and only call this when a human has agreed to it.</Warning>

Read status rather than the HTTP status. Only paid, already_settled and paid_recovery_incomplete mean the balance is dealt with; every other value comes back under a 200 having charged nothing, and summary tells you why.

Retrying is safe. Base44 serializes the charge per account against the specific invoice, so two calls racing each other cannot double-charge, and a repeat call once a charge is in flight reports pending_payment instead of starting another.

The body takes no fields. Send an empty object, since anything else is rejected.

Settling clears the hold that stops campaigns serving, so a campaign paused for non-payment can resume afterwards. The summary in the response reports whether the account actually came back, which is what paid_recovery_incomplete distinguishes.

<Note>This endpoint accepts a personal API key. Workspace API keys are not authorized for it and are rejected with a 403.</Note>

<Warning>The response includes fields beyond the ones documented here. Don't rely on undocumented response fields, as they can change at any time.</Warning>
