If you struggle getting your bugbounty vulns accepted (quick reject/duplicate or N/A)
-> it might be that the triager doesn't want to deal with your report

As a triager myself who did this job for 3+ years and reviewed over 2500 reports, here are 3 tips I have for everyone who plans to submit a report
-----
1. 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭/𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐲
• If you report includes code snippets -> use indentation
• If your report has JSON/XML snippets -> use a beautifying tool
• Verbose HTTP headers? -> remove the irrelevant ones
2. 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚
• Remove passwords/tokens/JWTs/API keys
• If they are relevant-> obfuscate them
• Last thing that you is to create one more security hole
3. 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞
• When you work onreport -> it's where the problem is
• You submit a picture/video and you say "see the attached"
• But for someone who just read -> is not where to look
• Highlight with circles/squares/arrows what exactly you want to point out
