yes you can, but only if you have selected RBF option before making the transaction.

in fact when you perform a "increase/bump fee" on an RBF  transaction it does nothing to your wallet balance. it just increases the fee from the funds you have been sending.
for example you had a transaction output of 0.005BTC which you spent in your transaction. you paid 0.0048BTC and the 0.0002BTC went to miners as fee.
if you increase the fee of this transaction assuming it is an RBF one, the output will change to 0.0047BTC and your fee will become 0.0003BTC but you are still spending the same transaction output which was 0.005BTC

Hi there,

I have sent my last coins in a tx that has been unconfirmed for days. When sending I used the "Max" button (2.9.3) so I don't have any coins left in my wallet (the sending tx is still unconfirmed though).
Is it possible for me to use the "increese fees" function even though my balance in the wallet is 0 when you substract the unconfirmed amount?

Just don't wanna make things worse. The current fee on the tx is 79.742 sat/B.

Thanks for answer in advance.
