Diagnose the constraint before making more edits.
Learning diagnosis
Look at the selected optimization event and how often it occurs per ad set. A rare Purchase event split across many ad sets may leave each with too little data. Consolidate overlapping audiences or campaigns, broaden unnecessary restrictions, and consider a higher-volume event only if it still predicts real business value. Adjust budget or bids gradually and avoid frequent major edits during evaluation. The often-quoted 50 weekly events is a planning reference, not a guarantee that status or performance will improve at exactly that number.

Make the correction
Avoid frequent material edits while evaluating the problem; they can reset learning. Consolidate overlapping ad sets or choose a more achievable event only when it still represents useful intent.
Confirm the fix
Judge the campaign by cost and quality of outcomes as well as its status label. A stable, profitable ad set does not need a disruptive change just to clear a badge.
