fbErrorstringnullable

Despite the name this is not always an error. Reads return null when there is nothing to report and the upsert returns "", but pausing an ad set or an ad overwrites it with an informational notice — One or more adsets are paused or One or more ads are paused — which the matching resume clears back to null. Treat it as a status line, not a failure signal.
