    I have reached the Rewards support, but they won't give you a proper reply. It is waste of time. I have been trying for the past one month, but nothing is changed. Either we have to stop using BING or we have to get accustomed to this colling down. Microsoft won't give a reply in this regard. These are a type of marketing gimmicks by giving rewards for using the browser and after making us to keep Edge as our default browser no they have started to reduce the rewards in terms of cooling down. They are corporates, we are just PUBLIC...

    I don't know what are Good Faith Searches. But you earn so few points now that it's really not worth it. It was their program to give points, and they've decided not to any more. But I can search for a good half an hour and only maybe have three of them count. The program isn't worth much.

    The first solution to OP's problem is complete bollocks, I use the search engine by the rules as prescribed and I've had a stupid cool down timer ever since the knucleheads in charge rolled it out back in December. Like OP, I do not cheat, I do not use a VPN and I do not type gibberish. 5-10 seconds is acceptable albeit annoying but this 15 minute stamina timer facebook gaming nonsense has got to go and never should have been a thing in the first place. The moron who came up with it should not only be fired but black listed from working in ANY tech job, even as a Janitor.

    I'm not sure if it's related, but I've been running into significant frustration with the daily activities having a secret timer that easily interrupts any streaks I've made. It seems to be something like 24 hours long that runs indifferent to the regular daily cycle the use for tasks. So the tasks themselves may be new and I can do them, but the blue check-mark will remain on things I've otherwise not done for that day, preventing me from gaining the points that I otherwise would earn. It makes me feel like I have to resort to doing weird things like setting SCHEDULES to do everything at once instead of my preference of naturally through the day when I find myself at my computer.

    Hi Khushi, I am John J.D., a fellow Microsoft user like you.

    I understand your frustration. I'm here to help. Could you please specify where exactly you're encountering these cooldowns? Are they happening during your web browsing sessions or elsewhere?

    If it's while browsing, it could be that the rewards system detected that you were browsing too fast or using similar search entries repeatedly, triggering an automatic cooldown. However, this detection can sometimes be incorrect.

    In any case, the cooldown is temporary and should resolve itself once you browse again in good faith. If you believe the rewards system's automatic detection is in error, you can provide feedback to the Microsoft Rewards team by visiting https://rewards.bing.com/ scrolling down, and clicking "Provide feedback".

    Should you need any further information, please let me know.

    John J.D.
