if you want to open an outgoing channel then it makes sense to have a big channel and also keep that open. And those channel partners require ~1m sats minimum size.

If you want to get a channel from an LSP it's _increasing your receiving capacity_. You get a channel from the LSP and can receive any amount then via lightning. (on the node page, at "receiving capacity" choose "increase")

This is also our default flow for the first channel:

- but that's good feedback we need to make this more clear and obvious.

Yeah, I didn't even know there was a difference between "open a channel" button and the "increase capacity" button.
