Pacing
How evenly a campaign spends its budget or delivers impressions over its flight, compared with the planned schedule.

Short answer
Pacing describes how evenly a campaign spends its budget or delivers its impressions over its flight, compared with the planned schedule. Even pacing spreads delivery consistently, while accelerated pacing spends as quickly as possible. Monitoring pacing helps prevent campaigns from exhausting budgets early or under-delivering by the end date.
