What is up with spidy stealth suit's pre-fight ability?

From what i know, SSS gains a persistent charge every single fight, meaning he can activate his pre-fight ability for every fight. Was going to take on mini boss thing in war and could not activate the ability. Photos attached as proof

- before fight number 1 : uses one charge to activate a cartridge.
- charge is spent, there's no charge left
- enters fight
- by his ability, gains a charge back
- next fight, since charge is back, can activate another cartridge
Meaning he should always be able to activate a cartridge whether he spent it or not. Unless something prevented him from gaining it back in the previous node maybe ?
See here, Seatin uses one charge against Ebony Maw, gains it back, and uses another for the next fight :
