Marty asked why banners still show "running" with 0 left. They genuinely are
running — banners on this network have no cap. The counter runs past the
purchase and the ad keeps rotating until its 365-day expiry, so a
fully-delivered banner is still serving. #2707 is at ~6,129 on a 2,500 buy.
"running / LEFT 0" reads as broken though, so the row now says "delivered —
still serving as a bonus, Stop to end it", and the footnote explains it once:
the extra costs nothing further against their allowance, and Stop actually
ends it on the network.
Worth flagging what this does NOT do: nothing auto-stops a banner at its
purchased amount. Members get free over-delivery, which is fine on our own
inventory, but it means every banner ever launched keeps rotating for a year
unless someone stops it. If that becomes noisy, the fix is a scheduled job
that deactivates ads once served >= bought — deliberately not built now,
since it needs a cron and the over-delivery currently costs nothing.
