How would you send more than a channel's capacity?

You can only send as much funds through a channel as belong to you in the channel. So, no Alice cannot send the full capacity of the channel to Bob twice, unless the whole capacity had been sent back meanwhile.

If you're sending only in one direction and anticipate making multiple payments, you should open a channel that is a multiple of the sent amount in the first place. If payments flow only in one direction, it may even be more efficient to just send on-chain, especially if you're sending large amounts like 1β€―β‚Ώ every day.

Alternatively, there may in the future be a way to increase the capacity of a channel by "splicing-in" funds, but that's basically just a more efficient way of opening a new channel with a bigger capacity.
