GAINING AND REFUNDING COMMAND POINTS
There are several rules that give you a chance to gain or refund CPs when you or your opponent either use a Stratagems or spend CPs to use a Stratagem. Each player can only gain or have refunded a total of 1 CP per battle round as the result of such rules, regardless of the source, and CPs that are spent on Stratagems that are not used during a phase, such as those used ‘before the battle’ or ‘at the end of the battle round’, can never be refunded. The limit of gaining or refunding 1 CP per battle round does not apply to the Battle-forged CP bonus a player gains at the start of their Command phase before doing anything else, or to any CPs gained by mission special rules that instruct players to gain CPs in their Command phase.

Add the following:
Stratagems that Gain or Refund CPs
The advanced rules for Command points state that you cannot
gain, or have refunded, more than 1 Command point per battle
round because of any rules (other than via the exceptions listed
on page 245, such as the Battle-forged CP Bonus). However, there
are a small handful of Stratagems that let players gain or refund
several Command points when used (e.g. Feeder Tendrils in
Codex: Tyranids). So long as such a Stratagem is used during a
phase (i.e. it is not used ‘before the battle’ or ‘at the end of a battle
round’), the limit of gaining or refunding 1 Command point
per battle round does not apply to any Command points gained
via Stratagems.
I dint have my codex with me to see the wording of the various sources you mentioned, but here are the limits to gaining and refunding CP.
