    It is back for me as well. So annoying Microsoft. I'm about to stop using Bing, Edge and drop the entire thing. Get your act together on this reward thing already. "Browsing too fast"? What counts as browsing too fast? I think you need to define this Microsoft. Joke.

    it just came back for me today, im using rewards for more than 400 days straight and almost half of this time had cooldown, witch really SUCKS

    These changes to Microsoft Rewards are ridiculous. Forcing us to spread out searches all day instead of letting us complete them in one session? Why even have the program if you’re going to handicap it this much? It’s unnecessary, frustrating, and just plain stupid.

    Yep, I've been stuck on a 2-3 searches every 15 min. COOL DOWN, and my phone hasn't counted anything for 4 months straight. They know damn well I'm not a bot. iPhone, iPad, Android, Xbox, PC, app. etc. It's the same BS. 🤬

    It's always incorrect, I don't like cooldown nor told that I'm a BOT...

    I own and run a computer that I built myself, it's a hexcore PC with 3 gpu's inside, I'm not a programmer, I do know Basic Programming, but I still can't program on that old language.

    I do make similar searches, how else am I going to get the points needed in 1 day?

    If Rewards wants to do this, fine I cash out and log out, this time breaking what I can in bing so I don't make points.

    This is on My PC and on android... Rewards gives out $5 and $10 for use on Amazon...

    Next they'll want ya to have a minimum OS, like that LOSER OS known as Windows 11...

    15, 30, 60 points a day SUCKS!!! No more 250 a day, Rewards must be in the RED... https://www.bing.com/search?q=Microsoft+Rewards+has+updated+the+way+points+are+earned%2C+with+more+changes+on+the+horizon&PC=U316&FORM=CHROMN

    I had full search access for about two weeks, then I got the "suspicious search activity" warning again. Now my mobile searches aren't counting at all.

    I literally used the search suggestions that are given to you in the MSN app rewards section. And I just did normal searches on my PC.

    Since the warning, I can't even get one mobile search to count, whether that's in the MSN app, Bing app, or Edge app.

    This is just ridiculous.

    I opened a ticket and their reply was basically, "Tough ****."
