Why does only some of my searches give my points on Microsoft Rewards?

This issue is getting really annoying for me and I need this fixed ASAP.

I've tried the following:

-Resetting history

-Clearing all of my cache

-Resetting my settings

-Logging in and out of my account

-Uninstalling and reinstalling both Bing and Microsoft Edge

Other information:

-I haven't reached my daily limit for points from searching

-I live in the US

-The issue occurs on both my PC and my phone

-I'm not searching things I've already searched today

    It was done intentionally to slow us down, similar to removing the 20 edge points, and the "This or That?" quizzes.

    EDIT: Most of the options on the rewards page have dropped from 10 points to 1 point today.

    it's not a problem with your computer or browser LOL, it's microsoft putting a 10 second cooldown on your searches to get points. so you have to wait 10s after every search to get the next 5pts.

    i think you also sometimes have to do multiple searches per 5pts
