eCPM: We can set the minimum eCPM for an ad unit. If the bid of an ad is lower than the minimum eCPM you set, the ad is not displayed. However, a too high minimum eCPM may lower the ad fill rate.

Frequency control: To ensure the experience of users, we can use this setting to control the number of ad impressions. The time unit ofFrequency controlcan be minute, hour, or day. If we select minute, the time cannot exceed 60 minutes. If we select hour, the time cannot exceed 24 hours. If we select day, the time cannot exceed 30 days.

For example, you setFrequency controltoUp to 1 impression for every user per 1 hour. In this way, when a user uses our app, the user can view up to one ad in the ad unit within one hour after the ad is displayed.
