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.

    I'll just add another disappointed user feedback to the probably pointless others. M$ will do what they want. I didn't hit this new search nerf until a few days ago. Still works the way it always has for PC searches except the 12pt a day is not counting anything, still get the 90pt a day for my usual news feed surfing search links. Mostly. Today it seemed like maybe some weren't counting and it's taken longer to get to 90pts. But I have had 0pts for bing searches on mobile. No matter what I've done. Nothing counts there. Makes the whole thing a pointless waste of time. Also, a few days before this I noticed they nerfed some of the extra pt awards, like daily links that used to be for 10 or 20pts are now for 1 or 2pts. Seriously ? ! Even 10 or 20pts was barely worth a click at 1 or 2 cents value. Now they want us to chase fractional pennies. No. Just, no. M$ just be honest and kill the program already if it's breaking you. Then we can all quit M$ and everyone will be happier.

    It doesn't matter how long I wait to "search" I am not earning points for searches. Once I redeem my points for a gift card, if that even works, I am done with Bing.

    The algorithm remains the same, but to check if there was a problem with the account or count, only Rewards support can check.
