We generalize our previous method on the subconvexity problem for $\text{GL}_{2}\times \text{GL}_{1}$ with cuspidal representations to Eisenstein series, and deduce a Burgess-like subconvex bound for Hecke characters, that is, the bound $|L(1/2,\unicode[STIX]{x1D712})|\ll _{\mathbf{F},\unicode[STIX]{x1D716}}\mathbf{C}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D712})^{1/4-(1-2\unicode[STIX]{x1D703})/16+\unicode[STIX]{x1D716}}$ for varying Hecke characters $\unicode[STIX]{x1D712}$ over a number field $\mathbf{F}$ with analytic conductor $\mathbf{C}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D712})$. As a main tool, we apply the extended theory of regularized integrals due to Zagier developed in a previous paper to obtain the relevant triple product formulas of Eisenstein series.
