You know I'm not sure what happens if you send a larger amount than your existing channel. That might work too, but I think Phoenix will want to charge a fee for a new channel.

In my example I have a 1.8m sat channel and I spent 1m sats, so I have the capacity to send myself 1m sats with strike to refill the existing channel. It only cost the strike lightning fee:

Sending more than your existing capacity will open a channel for you:

On-the-fly channel creation: 1% of the amount received, with a 3000 sat minimum fee. This covers the cost of opening a channel. The amount received must be at least 10000 sat.
