That was one thing. I also tried powering up. It seems that the newly powered up sp enters 0% cahrged and will only raise your max and your regeneration. The account should be fine in a few days but if you want to transact now that does not help.
There is one potential idea I have, not sure if it works. Potentially you can add your main account to assume the posting role of your alt and then RC are deducted from there. Will test this later.
