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.

    I think Microsoft ruined Bing searches as a whole. I can’t even begin earning points on the my phone, and the last time I tried using a computer, it decided that I got enough points already (20) and it took a few hours for it to actually give points before cutting me off. I tried asking about this, but I essentially got an email accusing me of cheating previously, and saying that they just fixed the engine. What’s with them?

    On the browser, I have been using Bing as my primary search engine for years, since I saw a side by side and did find it better (at the time I compared). I notice that since Bing has stuck it's Bing Chat **** on the page with no way to eliminate it, After I have done a number of searches, I notice that only a minority percent of them result in points. To double check that I am not imagining it, I intentionally have done a bunch of searches, and see that maybe I am getting about a third of the number of points that I would be getting if they actually provided 5 points per search for every search I did. It's a scam.

    I can search with Bing pretty fast, and admittedly, it does feel like I’m missing the point of Bing searches. Unfortunately, Microsoft has made it so edging (funny) gives no point bonus. I don’t understand the sudden change of plans, but it definitely seems as though the system is rigged.

    No one has a solution. It’s in Microsoft’s hands.
