    They seem to have nerfed the bing searches even more since yesterday. Now it seems I will only get points for 4 searches and then have to wait half an hour or so before I can do another 4. Before yesterday you could just do them until they were all done provided you left a few seconds between each search.

    It just worked as normal there for me!

    Few tips from what I encounter, most days!

    If you are clicking along in the explore more boxes, then usually around 5 get counted, before it stops counting anymore. Click into the search box and search something new by typing, it'll start counting again.

    Always use the daily puzzle, even if there's no points associated with it today, click skip puzzle and your brought to a bunch of backgrounds, in a carousel. Click on each one of these, they each count as a search!

    Click into the daily 10pts searches, they often have explore more boxes in the right hand pane, to continue with points.

    If the above stop counting, you can always do nonsense searches, that will still work, like a general word followed by a number! Chicken, Chicken 1, Chicken 2 etc…

    I count it about 5-7 seconds needed, but I usually give 10 seconds between searches. I'll throw up a stopwatch on the screen or my phone and make a new search every 10 secs!

    I actually type all my searches It started working normally again once I had the 60pts for mobile searches done which is odd.

    Anyone do the Ambassadors program, I get the feeling I'm the only person in Ireland who bothers. Anyway... the nerfwinds are also a coming there! Nothing turning in for the last 2 days.

    Same here. There are 2 tasks stuck for me - a Forza one and downloading Calisto Protocol.

    I've been doing the ambassador stuff since season 22.

    Only recently enough reached level 4.

    There seems to be a few stuck quests at the moment alright!

    On their Discord, they are at least aware of it, though there hasn't been an update in 5 days… :(
