The transfer limit works both ways.
You can send/receive 10000 points a day.
But it is also kinda flexible.
Example:
If people have sent you 3000 points your transfer limit is at 7000 pts. If you send somebody 1000 points your limit climbs up to 8000 pts again.
So as long as you don't hit the magic 0 points transfer limit by sending or receiving you can exchange as many points as you want (in the example above you could still send 12000 points if you split the transactions to each be smaller than 10k).
In your situation you have received 10k or more points in a row which exceeded the daily limit.
If you don't want to wait until tomorrow for the limit to be reset you could ask Hunter to take care of the situation for you.
