The same thing has happened to me. I discovered that in any 24 hour period of time, each member is only allowed to acquire 200 points. So, once you have reached your 200 points in a 24 hour period of time, you will no longer get points until you are beyond the 24 hour period of time. I hope that this makes sense to you--I'm not sure I've explained it very well.
Here is an example. If Í have earned 190 points in the last 23 hours and someone votes on my answer as a best answer, I should receive 20 points for that vote. However, since I have 190 points now and the limit is 200, I will only receive 10 points. Any additional votes I would get would be 0 (zero) until I once again dropped down below 200 points in the last 24 hours.
