It goes away after a month or two. Not sure what their algorithm is for slapping users with it but it seems to be random waves.

Thanks. Annoying to not get all the points in about 30 minutes

Damn I got limited again

Also why on earth do they not offer BNet gift cards to redeem

I'm back today. So 2.5 week cool down, not the worst.

Been on the 15 minute cooldown for a while and today they bumped it up to 30 minutes cooldown. What the heck!

That's totally pantz!

Bloody hell, its been 8 years according to MS since I started doing these bloody rewards!

I've been limited for months now. 1 day last week it was removed and then the very next day I was limited again.

Worst part is that even with the cooldown I sometimes get robbed of one of my searches and only get 15 points instead of 20.

Both things happened to me.

I have a hunch.

I'm pretty sure I know what triggers the 4 searches being cut short. It can even be 5 out of the 20. And I wonder if this is related to what causes the limited searches in the first place.
While on the limited 4 searches, if you do say... one search, then claim points from xbox app on mobile, or try one of the extra bonus bing searches like open roles at a company, that's when it will lock me out of the remainder of my 4 limited searches. It seems like some kind of bad interaction.

I'm going to try doing only the searches first, nothing else until they are complete. Hopefully that will keep me out of trouble in the future.

so all game pass is being removed? or just the auto-redeem game pass? looking at that statement i thought it'd be just the auto-redeems, but those steps say to use an xbox gift card to buy game pass. weird.

sad to see regardless

I think I might have been claiming rewards multiple times this week. I've gotten xbox messages on my phone and claimed rewards. Then I also get notifications on my PC and I claim rewards.
I have not been paying attention to what was being claimed but I've never seen so many rewards in such a short amount of time.
Is this a glitch or am I just playing more than usual?

I didn't get an email, but I saw that 3 month renewal is gone. and Auto for one month is 17000, while regular renewal is 12000. Looks like the GP train is over.

Gift card for XBOX is only available in $10 increments. That will need to change.
