I found that watching adverts to speed up servicing and upgrades seemed to fix the problem. Of course, it could just be coincidence and it could just be that FM decided to take me off the naughty step. I had the opposite problem about 6 months ago. I had no issue watching the ads to get my 15 daily gold from them, but when the Gauntlet for the 2016 RSR started and I was watching MORE ads to speed up upgrades, all my ads when to pot.

Ads have been behaving, more or less, really well since the new year. The only issue I sometimes get is repeatedly having the same ad with mini game afterwards which takes far longer than 30s. I just use TouchVPN to switch to Denmark or Norway and I get shorter ads. Of course, iOS users can't do this.
