It is conjectured that the average energy provides an upper bound on the rate at which the complexity of a holographic boundary state grows. In this paper, we perturb a holographic CFT by a relevant operator with a time-dependent coupling, and study the complexity of the time-dependent state using the \textit{complexity equals action} and the \textit{complexity equals volume} conjectures. We find that the rate of complexification according to both of these conjectures has UV divergences, whereas the instantaneous energy is UV finite. This implies that neither the \textit{complexity equals action} nor \textit{complexity equals volume} conjecture is consistent with the conjectured bound on the rate of complexification.

    In the AdS3 Vaidya geometry, the extremal volume defining holographic subregion complexity is genuinely x-dependent during the quench, so the standard x-independent ansatz fails at intermediate times; early and late t...

    For Lovelock black holes, the Complexity=Action growth rate at late times is a coupling-independent multiple of the mass, and the Schwarzschild limit is recovered only up to a constant under the authors' boundary-term...
