In v21 of the Google Ads API, the `UploadClickConversion` method's `debug_enabled` setting will be removed. Starting on **August 6, 2025**, all the previous versions (v18, v19, and v20) will ignore this setting if it's set as part of a request.


As a result of this change, Google Ads API will no longer return `ConversionUploadError.CLICK_NOT_FOUND` errors, because setting the `debug_enabled` field to `true` is the only way to retrieve it. This error code will be removed from the Google Ads API in a future version.


Here's a breakdown of how this change will materialize in each Google Ads API version:

- v21:
  - The `debug_enabled` field will be removed from the `UploadClickConversionsRequest` message.
  - `ConversionUploadError.CLICK_NOT_FOUND` errors will not be returned.
- v18, v19, and v20:
  - The `debug_enabled` field will be present on the `UploadClickConversionsRequest` message, but it will not be functional.
  - `ConversionUploadError.CLICK_NOT_FOUND` errors will not be returned.

If your application uses this field or error code, make sure you update your application to handle the new API behavior.
