Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 1 year and 4 months old | 8.2 lbs
I have an automatic pet feeder that has 2 containers. One opens at 7am and the other at 7pm. I just realized that they both opened at 7am and Luna ate pretty much all the food for the day (1/2 cup). Will she get hungry at night so do I feed her more food later or do I not give her anything because she alreadybate her whole day's portion?

The automatic feeders are great ! (When working correctly :)). Luna is lucky to have one. She may be a little hungry this evening since she is likely used to eating twice daily. I would offer her 1/8 cup of food at her regular time tonight. If she doesn’t eat it all you can pick it up and restart her Normal schedule of 1/4 cup twice daily tomorrow.
