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.

    It actually does have a daily limit. It used to be 310 but now, literally just a day or 2 ago, they took away the Read And Earn that gave you 30 points and lessened the amount of points you get for a few other actions! More daily points taken away!!

    There is no customer service that's the problem.

    I figured out the new and annoying way it counts your bing searches for bing points. I did some testing yesterday and it seems to be working this way. So when you do your searches, they will only count if you search and wait 5 seconds from the next search. Doing them one after the other won't work anymore. Also, you can only get 15 points every 15 minutes now. It must be a new algorithm in the search engine which is annoying.

    So not only do you have to wait 5 seconds between searches for points, you have to come back every 15 minutes to get 15 more points again (3 searches) to get your total 150 points for the day.

    I hope this helps. I use Brave browser on my phone and also Microsoft edge on the Xbox and it works on both with the instructions above.

    Thanks. I have noticed that. But I don't get to search the rest of the day. I will try maybe again. But I pretty much give up on bing. So many other functioning apps I do that work. I can let anyone know the ones I do if interested. .
