For the age regression, maybe he ran out of time in his cane and had to use his own time in order to escape ? It still does not explain how he would go back in age.

Look, speeding yourself up with time is not the same as speeding yourself up normally. Time is relative, and the faster you go the less it affects you, theorically.....but, when you use time to speed yourself up, you are not actually moving faster.

Instead, you are simply slowing down everything around you, but yourself. This means you would age quicker in normal time, because for the duration, you would be aging, say, at a rate of 4 minutes per every 1 minute, when everyone else still has the normal 1:1 ratio, because you age at normal rate while everything, and their aging with them, is slowed. That's where I have trouble explaining it correctly. I consider his semblance to be stacking time, which means that, as he grows older, he can "absorb", in a way, the time he spend in the world, and deliver it when needed.

From what we've heard, Ozpin have bee alive for very long : his name is not a colour, which means he was born before the Great War, which was 80-100 years before. That's because he stock the time he spend, and then delivers it. The directors have stated that his cane is used to stack time, but I am making the asumption that his body can be used also, as he ages through the years. By using the time he have spent in this world, he can speed up like he does in the Cinder fight. But, as he uses his body's age, the more he uses it, the less time his body "stack", which means he rejunevate.

Grimmdamnit, I hate explaining time-based powers, that's incredibly messy. Hope it's clearer. And again, that's just my little theory.
