I was going through training, and had earlier in the day generated some images for another project. Now during training, when I try to generate an image with Copilot, it says: You're out of boosts. We are unable to process your request until your boosts replenish. How can I increase the boosts or how long does it take to replenish them?

    Hi Brad Swadley,
    Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    I understand how important it is to continue your work without interruptions. Regarding your query about running out of boosts in Copilot, here are a few suggestions:

    1. Waiting for Boosts to Replenish

    This is the most straightforward approach. Typically, the free tier of Copilot provides a set number of boosts per day (usually around 15). These boosts replenish automatically, often at midnight. So, waiting for the next day will restore your boosts.

    2. Earning More Boosts (if applicable)

    Depending on your version of Copilot, there might be ways to earn additional boosts:

    • Microsoft Rewards Points: Some versions allow you to use Microsoft Rewards points to get more boosts. You can earn points through various activities such as using Bing search or completing tasks on Microsoft services. Learn more about it here.
    • Limited-time offers: Occasionally, there may be promotions or trial periods that offer increased boosts. Keep an eye out for any such opportunities.

    Additional Tips

    • Strategic Use of Boosts: Utilize your boosts for tasks that require Copilot’s advanced capabilities. This can help you make the most of your available boosts.
    • Refine Your Prompts: Clear and concise prompts can greatly enhance Copilot's understanding, which might reduce the need for multiple boosts.

    I hope this helps! Please feel free to reach out if you have any more questions or need further assistance.
