Question about hacked switches for my home xbox

Hi BornBornYee,

Thank you for contacting the forums. I am sorry to hear that your Microsoft account has been hacked. According to an article about 'Designated
a home Xbox' on Xbox Support, you can contact the support team and possible get an exception for your lost switches. Are you able to login to your Microsoft account? If you can, I recommend you to create a new password as soon as possible. If your unable
to login to your Microsoft account, I will redirect you to an
article from Xbox Support to help you recover or reset you Microsoft. If you still need assistance please don't hesitate to reply back.

Thanks,

MC

None of that answers the OPs question...they already know all about Home Switches! They want to know why it automatically applied the extra switch instead of just saving it for later use

Thank you so much for your advice! My next question would be how do I switch the home Xbox to one of my twins consoles

Hello, Hjorn. I'm Arturo, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

The one-year period starts when you use your first home switch.

For example, if you changed your Home Xbox on 10 December 2023, you will get 5 home switches on 10 December 2024 no matter if you used only 1 switch or the 5 in that period.

However, sometimes can take a few days for your home switches to be reset after waiting the year.

Furthermore, you can check more additional information about Home Xbox by visiting this article from Microsoft:

I hope you find this answer helpful to your inquiry. However, I'll remain attentive to any other one you may have.

Regards,

Arturo.

It resets on its own

If you are giving yoir account to friend" it won't give you the next reset date only if you used up all yoir changes or on your last one as the previous screen shot mentioned

If you did a factory reset and remake your home console that also counts as a use

Also you shouldn't be using your 5 changes

You can use your content while signed in online without making it your home console

Only time home console should be used is actual changes or offline use

Wanna know how many uses I used ?

1 in 3 years since I got my series x thats with a xbox one x from. xbox one s change previous

does it reset itself and go back to 5? you used 1 in three years so you still have 4 too or has it gone back to 5?
