This post right here, now it was my understanding that it only takes more energy to expand at a constant rate the more expanded you get relative to the speed of light, but in this case we are speaking purely relative of one part of the universe to another. In which case, remembering gravity, the energy needed to expand at a constant rate actually decreases the further apart it gets. Which is why the rate of slowing is itself slowing down.
If im not mistaken, the speed of light is more a measure of distance then time. Also to factor in the time it takes light to run from end to end in the universe will be even more impossible then equating the expansion of the universe.

Lastly the highlighted segment shows that what you are saying is this: As the expansion of the universe slows down, it also speeds up. That makes no sense.

But like I always say, this is just my opinion.
