Hi Tim, Please see answers below to your questions.
1.) The ExplorerAutoOptimizerSetting <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201802/AdGroupService.ExplorerAutoOptimizerSetting> will only trigger if you manually apply them via the AdWords API or the AdWords UI. If you have not set this setting via the UI or API, this won't be returned via the AdGroupService.get() <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201802/AdGroupService#get> . 2.) If you no longer apply (you manually removed the setting via the UI or API) the targeting optimization setting of your ad group, the AdWords API will no longer return the ExplorerAutoOptimizerSetting via the AdGroupService.get(). I tested this on my end. First, I retrieved an ad group with this setting and the ExplorerAutoOptimizerSetting was included in the response. I then removed the targeting optimization setting, and then get the ad ad group again with the settings <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201802/AdGroupService.AdGroup#settings> field, and the ExplorerAutoOptimizerSetting is no longer returned. Let me know if you have further clarifications.
