On **October 1, 2024** , the [Anonymous Inventory Modeling (AIM) reporting dimension](https://support.google.com/displayvideo/answer/15141165) will sunset and [DST/ROC (Regulatory Operating Costs) and Total Media Cost metrics will become incompatible with YouTube reports](https://support.google.com/displayvideo/answer/15322991) in Display \& Video 360. This will impact the structure of the reports that can be created and run using the Bid Manager API.


The relevant AIM dimension is defined by [Filter](https://developers.google.com/bid-manager/reference/rest/v2/filters-metrics.md.txt#filters) value `FILTER_ANONYMOUS_INVENTORY_MODELING`. Once sunset, `queries.create` and `queries.run` requests creating and running `Query` resources with this dimension will return a 400 error.


The relevant cost metrics are defined by any [Metric](https://developers.google.com/bid-manager/reference/rest/v2/filters-metrics.md.txt#metrics) value using the prefix `METRIC_TOTAL_MEDIACOST` or `METRICFEE32`. Starting October 1, `queries.create` and `queries.run` requests creating and running `Query` resources of `ReportType` `YOUTUBE` that use these metrics will return a `400` error. In the weeks following October 1, we will update existing YouTube queries that use these values to remove the metrics. In place of total cost metrics, we recommend the use of individual media cost metrics instead, which can be added together with other supported fees to calculate the now unavailable total media cost.


To avoid any interruption of service, review your reports to remove the AIM dimension from any existing reports and all relevant cost metrics from any existing YouTube reports.
