Deprecating outcome-based buying in Display & Video 360 API and Structured Data Files on August 1, 2023

On August 1, 2023, outcome-based buying will be deprecated in Display & Video 360. After this date, all resources using outcome-based buying will be archived, line items using outcome-based buying will stop serving, and you will no longer be able to create resources that use outcome-based buying.
