Bidfloor
The share of bids blocked due to the price that is passed in a bid request by publisher (comparing to your campaign CPM).
Example: Your CPM is $0.5, but a publisher’s bidfloor is $1. In this case your bidding for traffic from this publisher is blocked.
Bids per user
This blocker is applied artificially to set a bid limit for a user in order not to exceed targeting per user cap.
Bids throttling
This means we either limit or increase the probability of sending bids by your campaign.
Example: If you sent 1 million bids in the previous 10 minutes, we allow to send 5x more bids in the next 10 minutes (5 million bids). On the contrary, if your campaign sent 1000 bids in the last 10 minutes, you’ll be allowed to send only 200 bids within next 10 minutes.
This is an automatic system, so once you start actively bidding again, our system will increase the number of bids it receives.
BROWSERS list
Blocks the bids to the browsers other than chosen in the campaign
Example: If you target Chrome, all traffic from Mozilla FireFox browser is blocked for a campaign. Let's say, we have 10 million requests, 6 million are from Chrome browser and 4 million are from other browsers. If you target Chrome, you will be able to send bids to 6 million (60%) of all requests, so 40% will be blocked.

Targeting daily impressions, campaign daily budget
Bids can be blocked due to the caps set for impressions and daily budget at the strategy/ campaign level.

As for a daily spend cap, if it is set at $100, this amount will be split evenly or asap in 24 hours (based on the parameters you've chosen), but it may also influence the number of bids you are allowed to send per hour.
Targeting per source cap
Bids are blocked due Targeting per source setting in the campaign.
