Reminder: Microsoft had to limit chats due to these issues.

Tone is not yet live. Yesterday, Mike Davidson (Corporate Vice President, Design & Research, Microsoft) tweeted that the ability to choose a tone for Bing chat was now available for some. Mikhail however said that it is not yet. He said it might launch in the next days.

We have been using different versions of Bing Chat Mode selector (the Tri-Toggle) over the past few days. The final version has been approved and will be available for shipping in the coming days.
