Allow Max CPC to be calculated dynamically based on the product’s average conversion rate (or our own given CVR if there's no data yet)

I’d love to suggest a feature enhancement for Bid Limits that I think could bring lots of value, especially when optimizing keywords with no impressions or no conversions yet.
Allow Max CPC to be calculated dynamically based on the product’s average conversion rate (or our own given CVR if there's no data yet).
This would let us automatically set a ceiling bid that still stays within target profitability
Example:
Let’s say:
Product selling price = $40
Target ACoS = 25%
Average conversion rate = 10%
The formula for max CPC would be:
🧮 (AOV × Target ACoS) ÷ Clicks per Conversion
🟰 (40 × 0.25) ÷ (1 ÷ 0.10)
🟰 $10 ÷ 10 = $1
So, instead of letting keywords go up to a random max (like suggested bid), we can cap the CPC at $1, which matches our profit target based on how the product performs.
✅ Why this helps:
Protects profitability
Reduces wasteful high bids for low-converting ASINs
Gives meaningful ceilings
Fully customizable per product or per CVR range
