I could be wrong about this, so if anyone else knows, please feel free to chime in.
I started on CC in 2009 and have experienced at least 2 major site updates/complete revisions in which many features were taken out of old systems and replaced by something new.
In the old system, we had "Rep (reputation) Points" -- points accumulated through various milestones they made around the site, as well as from other members giving you rep points when they liked your post, etc. For instance, if I had 10 rep points and Magenta had 20 rep points, I could give her 10 rep points to show support for her post (the old system didn't have likes) and she would then have 30 rep points. But a member's points were also their own to keep -- I could give as many people 10 points a piece as I wanted and still keep my own 10 points. And as I accumulated more, I would then be giving out more to other people when I "repped" them.
Many felt this old system was simply a glorified popularity contest.
In the new system, rep points no longer exist but the "Trophy Points" seem to be a milder version of it. In the old system, I don't think there was a limit on how many rep points you could get, but apparently there is a limit on Trophy Points here. And unlike the old system, you can't give points to someone else -- they are strictly based on your own forum activity.
However, I think there is a maximum limit of 113 that can be received by any member.
I haven't found this on the phone app (it might be there but I haven't discovered it yet,) but if you're on a laptop, go to the CC homepage and look for the subheading "Members." If you click on that, it will give you a supposed listing of members with the "Highest Number of..." according to different categories.
But these lists seem to be very inaccurate. The current list of members with the highest number of trophy points are mostly newer members, but most older members who have been here a long time maxed out their 113 trophy points long ago, almost right after the system overhaul. I also noticed that some of these "Highest Number of" lists have usernames that haven't participated in the forum in a very long time (as in, years,) so I have no idea how these algorithms choose which members to feature.
God's Girl mentioned points only going up to 30, but I think that's on Likes.
"Trophy Points" appear to be something entirely different. If you see a member's name in the forums, click on it for the little box that comes up, the last category will say "Points." I also looked up someone's profile and as with the abbreviated box, the last category they have by their username is "Points", and the max appears to be 113.
These are apparently one's trophy points, and you'll notice that almost anyone who has been here for some time has a max of 113.
If I'm wrong and if some people have more than 113 points in their boxes, feel free to correct me. Trophy Points apparently aren't the number of likes, whether given or received, or reactions or any of that, but the number of "Points" listed right under the gray "Report" box in a person's profile.
(Disclaimer: I'm typing on a laptop right now and am not sure if it's different on the phone app.)

On further investigation, I believe these trophy points are somewhat disregarded on this forum. I can't remember anybody having mentioned them before. Of course somebody probably has mentioned them and I just didn't see it.
On this forum one is usually known by what one says, and how one chooses to say it.
But if it bugs you that you're not getting all you deserve, don't worry. You will inevitably max out soon, and then they won't matter anymore either way.

Case in point to back this, if you're on a laptop and can click the "Members" subheading (only visible on the front page -- you won't see it if you're reading a thread, etc.,) if you look at the "Most Points" list, you'll notice that Magenta, Lynx, and I are not on the list, even though we too all have 113 points.
I'm guessing the system is "picking" the most recent members who have hit this milestone to be on the list, and you'll see it change over time.
I just looked over the "Most Albums" list and there was at least one person who hasn't posted since 2018, but maybe that was the most recently someone hit that number of albums.
I'm not sure.
But if you're wondering why no one really pays attention to those kinds of things here, this should explain why.
I remember when I was a rising star in the trophy realm. How I opine for those early and exciting days of CC. Each new post could be the one to enhance my trophy point totals. Trying hard not to offend so as to avoid the dreaded white X surrounded by the red ball. If only CC management will free the trophy deprived and allow for greater freedom in the chatter trophy realm again. Alas, it's probably just a poor chatters pipe dream.

They have trophy points kind of like playing a game. I just like to get what I rightfully earned. Their trophy points are really slow coming in. It reminds me of the machines that little kids and kid adults play to win a toy of some kind or at a carnival winning a prize. Call me a grown up kid at heart. Congratulations Cameron143 on your maxed out trophy points=113.
