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.

Bing | Microsoft Rewards
Bing | Microsoft Rewards

A program that grants points for using Bing search, which users can redeem for gift cards, sweepstakes entries, or charitable donations.

    you previously could do searches one right after the other ... there is now a buffer put in place that you have to wait at least 5 seconds if not more before performing the next search ... that's on all platforms, mobile and desktop ...

    they also, if you didn't notice, removed the 20 daily points for using *bing* search

    also i've noticed on the desktop that some things that used to qualify for search points no longer do ... i.e. the "delicious delights* activity ... no points for clicking through the different foods

    found this too

    Microsoft explains changes as Rewards Program loses daily Edge points (windowslatest.com)

    Yeah I've been having same issue and I contacted support for this and a bunch of other issues I've been having and this was the only one they have actually responded to, but they still didn't even give me a full explanation just this. Which just says they've changed things but not what the changes were.

    Also just read on another post that they also have a cool down period where now we get 3 searches for 15 points then have to wait 15 minutes before you can earn any more points
