Posting here to note the importance of draining the overfill hole only when the car is running with the transmission in Park, and not when the car is off.

I took my sweet time to plug up the overfill hole when the car was still off, and found that while the fluid was coming out tons while the car was off, I didn't have enough to drain out when the car was running.

What I ended up doing after running out to buy another jug:

Overfill
With the tube and one way pump still plugged into the pan with the charge pipe, turn on the car
Let the car warm up a bit, row through gears etc, and put it back to park
With car still on, undo the charge pipe
I used to finger to make sure the fluid was properly warm, in addition to the thermometer on the pan.
Once fluid slowed, screw back on the plug.
