Cockatrice Decoction + Alchemy Refill?

[Keyro10bit]

So I just started playing this game again this week. Been awhile. I've never used the cockatrice decoction before until now, and I'm a bit confused by this. Simply put, I wake up from mediation, everything is refilled, drink my cockatrice decoction (reminder: all alchemy items can be used one addition time) and... how do I get that one extra use? None of my potions and bombs increased in numbers. If I consume a potion, the number drops from 6 to 5. I have Blood and Wine dlc. I've upgraded my estate and found an alchemy table. So far, this is the only thing I know of that can push my potions to 7 after drinking this decoction. How else am I suppose to replenish my potions and bombs after drinking the cockatrice decoction?

Edit:
So main issue here is the potion limit for the Alchemy Laboratoy bonus from the bed and the Cockatrice decoction stack, but doesn't refill you to 7 charges. To get that refill, the alchemy table is needed.

So you refill from the alchemy table, gives you +1, then you drink the decoction and it gives you +1 - as a result you have 7 instead of 5 potions of set type. How is this not working? Or do you want to have 2 Cockatrice decoctions so you can add another +1, for a total of +3 potions?

Ahh, I found the issueS. No I wasn't trying to reuse the Cockatrice decoction.
There are a couple errors, both on my fault, and the game.

First, before I meditated, I already had 6 uses of one type of potion. Didn't notice this before (must have used the bed at some point before testing this out). I was thinking 6 was my normal limit. Woke up from mediatation with 6 charges, drank the Cockatrice decoction, and no change, still only 6 charges. My error was I didn't realize the normal limit was 5 charges.

Second, and this can be easily replicated in game. I drank a potion down to only 4 charges left. Slept in the bed (which gives the Alchemy Laboratory bonus) and wake up with 6 charges. Drink the Cockatrice decoction and no change. Still only have the 6 charges. But refilling from the alchemy table gets you to 7 charges.

~~TL;DR~~
