what is the reason of adding cooldown in my microsoft rewards

MICROSOFT: OUR BROWSER IS THE FASTEST ON THE MARKET. OUR SEARCH ENGINE IS TOO!!

USERS: Yeah, but if we collect rewards points, we can only do 3 searches every 15 minutes. It's like building a Super-Fast Porsche and then limiting the 0 to 60 mph time to an hour. This is insanely DUMB!! MS EXECS need to get psych tests every 5 minutes to see if they're still living on planet earth and haven't "Gone Troppo" or are secretly working for Google.

This cool down bull is back again. Not the 1st time. 👺

4 days now, and I'm punished for no reason. 2 family members use this garbage and are usually ok, although they have been screwed numerous times in the past.

My acc. gets screwed all the time. I actually read a lot of news stories and I always type in normal searches every day. Every time my points get high this happens.

I contacted support (just like I did the last 200 times this has happened) and no1 ever responds. 3-4 searches, then wait 30-60 mins., rinse and repeat. I'm trying to save up to buy a Series X upgrade for my child. I guess I won't be able to upgrade her console using M$ points.

Thanks for nothing M$! 🤬☠️

😑Not 1 of the regular shpeal tips ever work.

Cold rebooting, clearing cookies ,cache, and history, uninstalling /reinstalling, signing out/in, resetting router/modem, etc. etc. It's clearly my acc. since every1 else can get theirs to work on the same network. We even tried their accounts on my devices to test it and theirs will work.

Bing is the worst. ❌👎

i have never done any cheat.

i have never used vpn or auto searcher.

then what is the reason behind the cooldown timer.

it is being so unusual to me.

so plese remove the cooldown for my rewards search.

100% agreed! It has been happening every day and MS support keeps on saying "By design". No sense

This system is pure garbage. Whoever came up with this over nickel and dime virtual points has massively damaged Microsoft's reputation with its users. The algorithm is awful, it can't actually detect anything so it punishes everyone. This is one of the reasons why MS is losing market share and failing.
