Expand your thinking a bit. Energy is being stored in the capacitor.
You do need to account for this. It is just another flow to track.

I don't need to track it. I am not the one who is arguing that
instantaneous power is conserved. I have said all along that your
instantaneous power equations were not tracking all the energy. It is
*you* who have not been tracking the energy stored in the capacitor.
When you do that in a valid way, you will discover that the energy
does balance but the instantaneous power still does NOT balance, nor
is it required to balance. IT IS ENERGY THAT IS CONSERVED, NOT POWER!
Please note that the 'Continuity equation' discussion does *NOT* list
power as one of the conserved quantities.
