Here's the short answer: Meta needs enough conversions on an ad set to stabilize delivery. Meta states this is about 50 optimization events within a week. Fewer, larger ad sets, an achievable optimization event and fewer edits get you there faster.
The rest of this page breaks down exactly how to do it, what to measure, and when it makes sense to bring in a senior team.

What it is
After launch or a significant edit, Meta explores who to show your ads to. Results swing during this period and settle once it has enough data.
Why ad sets get stuck
Budgets too small for the event, too many ad sets splitting the same budget, or an event that rarely happens all lead to 'Learning limited'.
How to exit faster
Consolidate ad sets, optimize for an event that happens often enough, and avoid frequent edits to budget, targeting or creative.
If the event you want is too rare, optimize one step higher in the funnel and filter quality another way.
Quick checklist
- ✓Consolidated ad sets
- ✓Budget sized for the optimization event
- ✓No significant edits for about a week
- ✓Optimization event that fires often enough

Still on the fence? The questions everyone asks before they book.
Should I edit ads during learning?+
Avoid significant edits; each one can restart learning.
Is 'Learning limited' bad?+
It means Meta isn't getting enough conversions to optimize well. It's a signal to consolidate or change the event.
