Lightning Node Capacity

I set up my own raspberry pi lightning node by following a guide from r/bitcoin and funded it with a small amount of bitcoin. I basically forgot about the node and left it to run for a few months. I recently looked up my node on 1ML.com and it is now listed as having a capacity of .17 bitcoin which is way more than the amount I used to fund it originally.

Did I somehow hit the lottery? Or can someone explain what capacity means in this sense? I don't understand how my node can have a higher capacity than what I put in originally.
