obviously I can use the attack action for 1, then the way I am reading this I can also use my extra attack for a second and my bonus action for 2 additional giving me 3 and 4 if I spend some ki
Radiant Sun Bolt
Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you can hurl searing bolts of magical radiance.
You gain a new attack option that you can use with the Attack action. This special attack is a ranged spell attack with a range of 30 feet. You are proficient with it, and you add your Dexterity modifier to its attack and damage rolls. Its damage is radiant, and its damage die is a d4. This die changes as you gain monk levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Monk table.
When you take the Attack action on your turn and use this special attack as part of it, you can spend 1 ki point to make the special attack twice as a bonus action.
When you gain the Extra Attack feature, this special attack can be used for any of the attacks you make as part of the Attack action.
Unfortunately you are stuck with either 2 bolts or 4 bolts with one ki. There is no way to use a Radiant Sun Bolt as a bonus action without spending ki

You can replace as many attacks as you can make with your Attack action (1 before you get Extra Attack).
You can then 1 ki point to get TWO as a bonus action (they don't cost 1 each).
So 1 or 3 bolts at levels 3-4, then 1, 2 or 4 bolts at levels 5-9, etc.
