Can a Sun Soul monk use Radiant Sun bolt as an action and then again as a bonus action as well?

There's another question, Can a Way Of The Sun Soul monk use Radiant Sun Bolt as the bonus attack for Martial Arts?, but it is about using Radiant Sun Bolt once after an unarmed attack, so it does not answer my question. I want to Radiant Sun Bolt a target as an action, then as a bonus action Radiant Sun Bolt the same target.

This is specifically stated as something you can do in the ability's description as long as you have a ki point to spend. And what's more, you can make three attacks per turn with it:

Radiant Sun Bolt

You gain a ranged spell attack that you can use with the Attack action [...] When you use the Attack action on your turn to use this special attack, you can spend 1 ki point to make two additional attacks with it as a bonus action.

    \$\begingroup\$ @TheFarm since utilising radiant sun bolt in this way requires a bonus action, and you can only take 1 bonus action each round, you cannot double up \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ It could be worth noting that from level 5, such a monk could even do four Radiant Sun Bolts per round: two through the Attack action (with Extra Attack), and two more through the mentioned bonus action. \$\endgroup\$
