boto3 mturk send_bonus error

When I try to send bonus via Boto3 regularly (but not always) the RequestError appears:

Exception Type: RequestError
Exception Value:    
An error occurred (RequestError) when calling the SendBonus operation: 
This user is not authorized to perform the requested operation.  
Exception Location: /Users/chapkovski/mynewotree/lib/python3.5/site-packages/botocore/client.py in _make_api_call, line 615

the code is the following:

response = client.send_bonus(
            WorkerId=self.WorkerId,
            BonusAmount=str(form.cleaned_data['bonus_amount']),
            AssignmentId=self.AssignmentId,
            Reason=form.cleaned_data['reason'],
        )

Since it works sometimes, it seems that there is a certain maximum amount that can be sent as a bonus per day. I do it in Sandbox so definitely it is not a problem of lack of funds. Anyone else has encountered the similar issue?

UPDATED: I've found the spurce of error: for some strange reasons mTurk doesn't allow to send more than $100 per day per worker.

I've found the source of error: for some strange reasons mTurk doesn't allow to send more than $100 per day per worker (that is at least true for Sandbox - did not test with the 'real' endpoint).
