Read & Earn (Earn Microsoft Reward just for searching)

This usually means search-based Rewards earning is being limited or not credited for the moment.

Supported causes include:

1. The daily PC/mobile search counter has already been maximized. Additional searches are not credited until the counter resets.
2. Search activity may have triggered an earning limitation. Microsoft states this can happen when searches are too rapid or appear not to be in good faith.
3. Searches entered by a bot, macro, or other automated means do not qualify.
4. Account/session issues can also stop crediting, such as being signed in to a different account or browser data not syncing with Rewards data.
5. If activity appears to come from outside the current market, points may not be credited.

What to do:

1. Check the points breakdown page and confirm whether the daily search limit has already been reached: points breakdown.
2. Make sure the correct Microsoft account is signed in on Bing and Rewards.
3. Avoid rapid back-to-back searches. Spread searches out through the day.
4. Do not use repeated random queries, bots, macros, or automation.
5. Avoid VPN or region-changing behavior.
6. If the issue continues, contact Microsoft Rewards Support using the official support form.

Important: repeated violations can lead to account suspension and invalidation of earned points.
