After you file

Yes, as a rule the IRS leaves the amount of your refund you initially requested to be applied to the 2023 return from the original return. They do not usually get reconciled together that quickly and I have seen cases where they did not adjust the amount requested to be applied to your next year estimates. You can wait to send the additional tax to see how it gets reconciled if you choose.  I understand your confusion as well.
