Reminds me of rep telling me I needed installs in order to get my campaigns to begin serving impressions…. My response “don’t I need impressions for that”

Let your clients know you are under no obligation to follow their input. Its directional at best but could harm the campaigns as you are in there every day.

This might be just me, but the last call I had with one of these guys, they actually gave some pretty good recommendations and the talk about raising the budget didn’t come until the last minute as a mild recommendation. I was actually pretty impressed, they are probably learning that if they truly help first, they can recommend budgets in a later call.

Ours expects me to be able to get a whole team across marketing to create new campaigns every 2 weeks, but never remove other campaigns, yet somehow keep a “healthy” budget for each. What?

“Let’s go through your account together.” > goes to stupid AI-generated overview screen, first question: “Do you have access to more budget? It will improve your results greatly!!!” every. single. time. Unless you’re a large-volume, -spend client. Then you generally get experienced reps that aren’t cycled out every 3 months.
