Why is Microsoft Rewards limiting how much I can earn?

I've been doing microsoft rewards for around 2 years and I've gotten consistent points, but since last month Microsoft has been slowly degrading how many points I can get.

For example, they've been only giving 1 POINT now for each task I do instead of 10 points, basically no monthly punch cards, and they just deleted my edge search points.

Is this on purpose to limit how many points older accounts with more points can get?

(I dont want a "Thank you for your opinion, we are going to look into this issue" robot response please)

    Sorry, Leo. But given the fact that I do not play Roblox, I don't think that was the topic. The issue is with Microsoft Rewards and its ongoing hinderances with users.

    It seems as though Microsoft is causing problems, they really need to fix this. The internet is buggy when I use Bing but is perfectly fine with Google. For now I feel as though this point earning is going to be tedious. Now I can only earn 50 points maximum from searching. I feel like I rather stick to Google which does work the way I want it to. Bing is slower for reasons.

    The search points system isn’t broken, they just made it trash. You can only get 15-20 search points per 15 minutes and you have to do the searches 5 seconds apart for it to register. It’s not broken but it’s trash

    Turns out search points are nerfed. You can only get 15-20 search points per 15 minutes, and for the searches to count, you have to do them 5 seconds apart. That means 2 hours of continuous searching (also most tasks give 5-10 points again)

    You have to wait at least 15 minutes after accumulating points for the 4 searches. Microsoft has deployed a timer to block points for 15 minutes after you’ve accumulated 15 points sometimes I can get 20 points.
