it reached the limit. If the new amount of points is greater than the maximum amount
of allowed points, the account will have the maximum amount of points.

Throws if not signed by the admin.

Throws `"NEGATIVE RATE LIMIT"` when amount is less than 1

Throws if the account or its `rl_config` does not exist

**Parameters**

* **account\_id** — the account that will receive the points
* **amount** — the amount of points to give

**See Also**
