How Is Charge Calculated in a Two Loop RC Circuit After the Switch Opens?

In summary: It has a value of 180.496 μC.In summary, after the switch is opened, the charge on the capacitor decreases exponentially.

Did we ever come up with the right Qmax across C? Last I saw was Qmax = CV but V is the battery so that equation is incorrect.

When I saw that equation I assumed that here V was meant to be the voltage across the capacitor; The OP did find the initial charge on the capacitor (180.496uC), which leads one to believe that he had a handle on the voltage, too.
