Well either the JO or the TCSWE stated his powers had atrophied after cutting himself off from the force. Kinda why he needed the Valley. Logic would infer that after his powers died out he was cut off from the force.
Also the Amp from the Valley is implied to be permanent as the Reborn where able to draw from it and wield it's power all the way from the Outcast era to the Jaden Korr days.
Plus the likelihood of Kyle going through Nar Shaddaa, Bespin, The Crain Station and Yavin in a manner of days is silly.
If the amp was temporary neither Kyle nor the Reborn(the majority who had little force potential) would be capable of force powers.
Also the circumstances regarding the reasons why they cut their connections are very different. You're not an imbecile, you know KoTor's story well.
The Exile's connection drew upon all death, it sucked the life out of living things, as Vrook explained it. That and her bonds with her allies.
The game narrative, guides and the characters all note this. The reason she continues to use the force is because of her unique situation as a wound, not to mention that Kreia states that she perhaps she is the reason why the Exile can feel the force again
Whereas Kyle needed the Valley to restore his force Connection and because of this his powers quadrupled.
If Kyle where not cut off from the force he would not have been so easily manhandled by Desann.

Kreia's connection wasn't even entirely cutNihilus and Sion weren't strong enough to drain/sever her entirely
As indicated by liberal use of hibernation trance, telepathy, and such fun shit even before Surik rediscovered her Force powers on Peragus.

The **** are you talking about? Kreia was completely cut off from the Force, she state's it was stripped away from her.
That explains the usage of telepathy and hibernation trance to the extent she looked like a corpse upon Surik's inspection at the start of the game
The idea that Nihilus can drain a planet but not one woman is pretty ****tarded as well.
Quaint little argument from belief when you have characters in the franchise with reserves of power comparable to planetary nexus
Didn't the cut content establish Nihilus and Sion were kind of surprised she was alive?
EDIT - Yeah, this
Yes they do, however its clear when Kreia recounts her betrayal that they were aware she was alive, considering Sion proceeds to give her a beating and she goes on to suffer "indignities."
Maybe Nihilus assumed she would eventually die, or maybe they tried to kill her properly later on. We don't know. What we do know is that they should have been fully capable of killing her at the Trayus Core, even if it meant finishing her off with a lightsaber, but they didn't.
Possible, but not what I got from the scene :hmm
It is admittedly open to interpretation
Figured the indignities she suffered was either the fight or whatever she had to do to survive in her "exile"
Pretty clear from Sion's words that Nihilus assumed he killed her. Why would I assume they had a later conflict? That's never implied on screen.
Maybe they didn't because they thought she was already dead? You drain someone of their power, they're kind of supposed to die
Like I said, all up to interpretation *shrugs*
Well it should have been obvious that Nihilus attack didn't kill her, considering she is right there, living and breathing, in front of them.
Maybe they assumed the beatdown she received after finished her off. She did look pretty dead after that.
EDIT: As for a implied later conflict/series of events, Sion says when they first meet "after all that has happened, still you live. You are difficult to kill", which arguably implies plural events/attempts on her life.
