I looked through the APC code... If i read it correctly, it appears the charge rate is capped at 1% 0,1% per second tick. Everything less than that depends on the power in the network (meaning not enough SMES).
Overall the drain of APC's only happens if there is not enough power in the network. Which, again, means not enough SMES.
What could be is, due to the amount of power drain added in the past PR's, there are not enough SMES to raise the stations power grid to high enough Voltage to keep some departments powered.
This means either we should encourage engineers to build more SMES. Or add a few more to some maps. Most stations only got ~2 SMES connected with the main engine, which is probably not sufficient anymore.
Another option would be to just be able to increase the output SMES add to the power grid.
