Hoard energy for May the fourth be with you
Starting tomorrow I am going to hoard all energy for May the fourth be with you. During BLACKOUT there is no point in spending normal and cantina energy for raid tickets. For arguments sake, if you ...

Hoarding energy’s a good idea, you’re just starting too early. I’m sure someone smarter than me can do the maths, but I’d wager that it’d be more worth starting at the end of the month
I happen to have done the math. See pictures from a few posts up. Your intuition of starting to hoard at the end of the month is pretty close.

I used some lightweight math: if i just hoard during 1 day i lose 240 free regen energy. 3 refresh will grant me 360 energy that will be worth 720 on may 4th, so i ‘gain’ 360 energy by hoarding, for a net gain of 360-240=120 energy per day of hoarding. So you can hoard every energy until you hit energy cap, which should be done in about 3 days. I’ll still do the bare minimum for dailies, so the gain will be a little less.
Now, this light gain might not be worth the trouble and you could just wait until the end of the day on may 3rd to refresh your energy and be done with it (even refreshing an extra 3 times for 100 energy, as it will be like doing an extra 3x50 refresh, which is still the most efficient way to spend your crystals).
Also, if you take a free daily chest in the web store, you might hit cap sooner, making it less efficient to hoard for 3 whole days.
You forgot the bonus energy 3x times a day which will be worth double as well. If you are collecting that you are only -105 energy each day. I always assumed it wasn't really worth the trouble until I made the charts but it certainly is worth saving up energy for at least a couple of days.

This is also to say nothing of the fact that energy caps unless you buy the packs.
Isn’t there an exception for bonus energy, for the sake of argument ?
It was my understanding that even bonus energy won't take you past the 1099 or whatever it is, and that the energy packs were the only way to get around it. But I could be wrong.
I thought bonus energy and packs, including free web store pack, go over the 2000 cap but you are unable to purchase energy the normal way.
