Here is some more information for all of you reading this thread -) Adwords does not accept bids for subdivisions anymore (see above). At least for us, the sporadical nature of this is gone since today - requests are now always rejected. -) When you send no bid, then Google applies a default bid (10000, or 0.01) for the subdivision (as documented here: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201506/AdGroupCriterionService.BiddingStrategyConfiguration) -) When you fetch the partition from the API again, then the partition is returned with the default bid (10000, or 0.01)
