Why am I not getting rewards points for searches anymore?

Yesterday my searches stopped counting after 90 points and today nothing has counted. Not for PC or mobile. Why aren't searches counting anymore. I'm ready to cancel Game Pass Ultimate, uninstall Edge, and change my default search engine away from Bing.

    They changed something where searches only count if you wait maybe 20-30 seconds in between each search, I think to keep people from getting all their daily points at once.

    You used to be able to search for something, go to images, and open about 10 tabs and get everything done in 5 minutes for the day but I guess they want to try and force more natural searches for the points.

    Idk why they would try and hide what they are doing because it's obvious the algorithm changed.

    Super dumb and petty. I'm able to earn 20 points after like ten searches and then it stops counting them at all for the rest of the day.

    They do it on purpose to get their user numbers up to make their search engine seem better than it is. In reality, it’s garbage. They can’t get a simple app, search engine, rewards program to work properly, yet they are venturing into the world of ai lol.

    Got message from Microsoft today.

    Bing points have been slowed down.You only get 12points ie 4 searches every 15 minutes. So as far as they are concerned you will get your full points on PC and mobile phone but you are going to take along time to get the by having to wait every 15mins.

    If that's true, that's not full points because they aren't counting a lot of searches.

    They need to make it clear in the rewards page because the 5-points per search thing is a literal lie currently.
