How to get valid amount of tAda under testnet for testing?

Hello. I’ve run the cardano node under test net with the following options:

./cardano-node run --config testnet-config.json --database-path /path/to/db/whatever --socket-path /path/to/socket/node.socket --host-addr 127.0.0.1 --port 50001 --topology testnet-topology.json

testnet-config.json & testnet-topology.json are got like:

curl -O -J https://hydra.iohk.io/build/7654130/download/1/testnet-topology.json
curl -O -J https://hydra.iohk.io/build/7654130/download/1/testnet-shelley-genesis.json
curl -O -J https://hydra.iohk.io/build/7654130/download/1/testnet-config.json
curl -O -J https://hydra.iohk.io/build/7654130/download/1/testnet-byron-genesis.json
curl -O -J https://hydra.iohk.io/build/7654130/download/1/testnet-alonzo-genesis.json

Then I’m using Faucet to get test Ada. There is mentioning that It allows getting 1000 Ada per day.
As far as I get that 1 test ada equals around 1^6 lovelace
but when I ran:

cardano-cli query utxo --address addr_test1vqwvs32x3wg5ea2l5tr7t93hpta8arwxllr4ey96dhl5d7sytaf9n --testnet-magic 1097911063

Output is the following:

                           TxHash                                 TxIx        Amount

So. I got only ~1 ada.

I tried to run the script and it needs at least 1724100:

Command failed: ...
Minimum required UTxO: Lovelace 1724100

I would like to ask Is it possible to get 1000 ada as mentioned by the faucet or is there a way to merge 2 or N utxo-s into a single one to get acceptable amount of Lovelaces for the testing script?

Since yesterday looks like it started working correctly.
I think the question can be closed.
