I don't think that the power up of SSB has been retconned.
The form has however been a bit over-used.
And to be honest, the power up one got from it was never really well defined to begin with.

Dragonball having internally inconsistent power levels?
No, surely not...
I kid, I kid. :P
This is the correct answer to it right here. Kale wasn't holding back, she was just more controlled and didn't try to nuke everything in her sights.
The best indicators that I can think of his the fight with Jiren(who went from blocking an SSG Gokus punches with his finger, to outright avoiding and actually blocking the attacks from an SSB Goku), and the fight with Kefla(SSG Goku was being utterly blitzed and smacked around by a base state Kefla, while SSB Goku momentarily held his own against an LSSJ1 Kefla before her power increased).
They seemed to have been on their universes kami lookouts. Meaning they could have been in the hyperbolic time chamber, thus those 2 days would be 2 years. I could be wrong though.
there was really nothing to hint that they used or even have a hypberbolic time chamber. they did visit champa's palace before the tournament where he gave kale and caulifla the portara earrings but it didn't look like they did any kind of training there, and given champa's personality, i highly doubt he would allow them to.
