AdWords: Show Ads Evenly Over Time Setting Not Working

I posted about this at DP but figured I would mention here too to see if others are seeing the same thing. Basically, the daily budget I have set for one of my campaigns, despite having the option checked to show ads evenly over time, is being used up very early in the day.

Someone else just posted that they are now seeing the same thing.

I've literally checked hundreds of campaigns and don't see the issue anywhere else except for in the one campaign I've posted about.

I just sent a message to support about an hour ago to see if they can shed some light on the subject. If you're seeing the same thing or know how to fix it please post in the comments.

Is it suppose to spread it evenly over the course of the month or over a day (does that make sense)?

In this case it's supposed to spread ad distribution over the course of the day.

They try to distribute it over the course of the day. It is based on traffic estimates, so it might reach its budget before the day is over. The estimates should get better as time passes and historical data is acquired.

steve, i dont think its the case, i ran my campaigns hoping for the same thing for over a month, nothing, every day it would run out of the daily budget in a matter of 2-3 hours. Just a month ago same campaign with no crazy changes ran just fine all day.
