Exactly!
What the original poster did not say was whether the monthly statement immediately preceding the credits to his/her account closed with a (positive) balance. If the last monthly statement before the credits had a (positive) balance, then at least the minimum payment was required to be made even if subsequent credits made the online account show a negative balance. The monthly statement is the legally binding document that we all agree to follow when we accept a credit card; not the balances shown in the online account.
With that said, Chase AutoPay will not deduct a payment if the online account shows a (negative) balance. In that case you will have to manually make the payment; which might even require pushing the payment from your bank.
