You can get stamina by logging in to Genshin Impact daily, completing daily commissions, using original resin, and more; however, keep in mind that you need to collect it manually on the event page. The Stamina that has not been collected will be reset when daily missions are refreshed the next day at 04:00 daily (Server Time).
