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

    Appears all searches are being modified to restrict points. "More activities" dropping from 10 to 1?

    100 searches result in no point increase.

    Yesterday, after maxing out on PC and mobile points, later in the day both point totals reflected 0.

    Could this be a method used to herd us cats toward the Start app? At least the daily read on Start "reflects" points...so far.

    Wow, got a reply:

    We would like to inform you that the experience you had about not earning points from your searches is by design. Changes were recently made within the crediting system. No worries though, you'll start earning points after doing a couple of initial searches. Rest assured, the points that you will earn for the day will not be affected, you will still have the capability to earn until you reach your maximum daily earning limit.
