Why is Status System Held and Campaign on Hold?

I created a new search ads campaign, ad group, etc., put in my credit card info, started it up, but the status is a yellow light with "System Held" as the message.


Clicking on the campaign the ad group has a yellow light also with the Status "Campaign on Hold".


The search ad default was set to start on September 28th, midnight, which is today (but already in the past), so what is wrong?
