Fix: Microsoft Copilot You're Out of Boosts

You’re out of boosts is not exactly the type of message you want to see when you’re trying to prompt Microsoft Copilot for image generation but it happens when you’ve run out of them.

Boosts are not unlimited but they help cut down the response time from regular prompts. Because of this reason, each user is assigned a certain amount of boosts every 24 hours depending on a personal or work/school account.

Your boosts are likely to run out fast if you’re prompting high-resource queries that require high-quality images and are complex in nature.

What can I do if I run out of boosts on Microsoft Copilot?

1. Clear cache and cookies

1. Launch the Microsoft Edge app on your computer. Further, click on the three dots on the top right side and select Settings.
2. Now, select the Privacy, search, and services option on the left side panel menu,

Unfortunately, 15 boosts aren’t exactly enough especially if you have a lot of tasks at hand so to avoid running out so quickly, try to limit them to only high-priority tasks or refine your regular searches with more clear and concise prompts to minimize the need for boosts.

Similarly, if you’re on ChatGPT, you may also get a you’ve exceeded your current quota which simply means you can no longer generate prompts. Alternatively, you can switch to other AI image generators for similar results.
