    Hi Khushi, I am John J.D., a fellow Microsoft user like you.

    I understand your frustration. I'm here to help. Could you please specify where exactly you're encountering these cooldowns? Are they happening during your web browsing sessions or elsewhere?

    If it's while browsing, it could be that the rewards system detected that you were browsing too fast or using similar search entries repeatedly, triggering an automatic cooldown. However, this detection can sometimes be incorrect.

    In any case, the cooldown is temporary and should resolve itself once you browse again in good faith. If you believe the rewards system's automatic detection is in error, you can provide feedback to the Microsoft Rewards team by visiting https://rewards.bing.com/ scrolling down, and clicking "Provide feedback".

    Should you need any further information, please let me know.

    John J.D.

    The 15 minute cooldown seemed to have come back on March 27, 2024 at around 10:30 PM. I'm not sure if it's temporary or permanent.

    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.

    Right! What is so called “browsing too fast?” Nobody I know will use a bot to earn the search points for the day.

    It started to happen to me as well. If what John says is true, then we just have to come up with other entries to text so the browser won't have that cool down. It sucks...
