API to create an AdBreak object.
Informs DAI of an upcoming ad break for a live stream event, with an optional expected start time. DAI will begin decisioning ads for the break shortly before the expected start time, if provided. Each live stream event can only have one incomplete ad break at any given time. The next ad break can be scheduled after the previous ad break has started serving, indicated by its state being COMPLETE
This method cannot be used if the LiveStreamEvent has prefetching ad breaks enabled or the event is not active. If a LiveStreamEvent is deactivated after creating an ad break and before the ad break is complete, the ad break is discarded.
An ad break's state is complete when the following occurs: - Full service DAI: after a matching ad break shows in the LiveStreamEvent manifest only when the ad break has started decisioning. - Pod Serving: after the ad break is requested using the ad break ID or break sequence.
