How to Resolve Microsoft Copilot “You’re Out of Boosts” Issue

Seeing the message “You’re out of boosts”can be frustrating when you’re eager to use Microsoft Copilot for image creation. Unfortunately, this occurs when you exhaust your available boosts.

Boosts are not an endless resource; they significantly reduce the processing time for standard queries. Each user is allotted a specific number of boosts every 24 hours, which varies between personal and work/school accounts.

If you’re frequently issuing requests that demand high-quality images or involve complex elements, it’s possible that your boosts may deplete rapidly.
