There's a point where OCR no longer decreases from spellcasting, you'll always have some extra points left.

So... I casted two spells and now my OCR will be forever 16?

If your OCR was high already, yes, though of course, it can be reduced with cha + influence.
Eagle's Splendour raises your CHA so that's also an option to lower your OCR.
Casting spells did not make you persona non grata, casting spells when your OCR was already borderline did. There's a distinction to be made here.
i can sympathise with the inconvenience, but casting spells inside of the zeklos outpost is definitely OCR worthy. unless you use metamagic, it's both loud and bright and casting magic inside of a settlement (even if no npcs were outside, but there are in this instance) is probably going to attract attention from any domicile that has a window. this is ignoring the poor gate guards on night shift at either side of the settlement who could (and should) react if a DM were present

But that borderline was not a borderline because I did cast spells in front of everyone. Was borderline becaus of low cha and being an outlander and dwarf.
I don't think that it is wrong to make OCR permanent.
I'm saying that, so, if someone with base OCR intentionally cast spells five times, ok, the OCR will get dow, but if someone who has OCR of 14 cast spells twice it becomes permanent? That doesn't seem balanced.
You can't unpickle a pickle, actions without consequences have no meaning.
You have equipment and spells as OCR lifelines, so the peoples reactions to you aren't necessarily permanent... but the locals will forever know you as the ugly potato dwarf that turned up without invitation in their lands and knows scary caliban-making vraja.
Its a combination of multiple factors.
I see no reason why 2 points of ocr are more permanent that 4 anytime. It us one if those mechanical things that we fake not finding strange, like the resting system: "No, I cannot sleep right now- oh, wait I'm sleepy, yes, I need to sleep immediately".

Well, yes. It was 14 at the time, I guess. And now it will be stuck at 16, it seems. Well... It is not as if I'll go much to Vallaki.
But I do feel bad: I casted one bear and one bull in the Krezk outpost at night (because I was encumbered) and the carpenter that was outside at night (oh, come on!) saw and bow I'm persona non grata in all Barovia?
I'd like to submit it to the CC because, frankly, that seems a little too much.
