How the streak works
Your streak counts the consecutive days you complete your daily activities, the homepage quiz and the rest of the Daily Set. The longer the run, the more bonus points you unlock, which is why consistency beats the occasional big session.
The milestone bonuses
Bonus points commonly unlock at streak milestones around three, five and ten consecutive days. Hitting those checkpoints is the main reason a one-minute daily habit turns into real gift-card value over a month.
When the streak resets
The day generally rolls over at midnight Pacific Time rather than your local midnight. If you're in an eastern time zone, that means finishing your Daily Set earlier in your evening to avoid accidentally missing the window.
Streak Restore for a missed day
Microsoft has offered a Streak Restore feature for eligible accounts, which can rescue a streak after a missed day. It's typically limited and subject to rules, so check your dashboard for availability rather than relying on it.
