Self-tipping is discouraged and can (will) get your account flagged and/or banned. There have been several discussion topics posted about this and you can search the community (and Brave reddit) if you want more detail. I posted links to “the short answer” from recent posts below.

If you mean you tipped yourself, then self-tipping is discouraged and your account is probably flagged. Flagged accounts cannot receive rewards. You should be getting an email from Brave informing you that your account was suspended and telling you what to do next.
