We study the evolution of symmetry-resolved entanglement entropy in bulk-driven Floquet conformal field theories (CFTs). Focusing on the two-dimensional free compact boson CFT, we analyze how symmetry-resolved Rényi entropies approach or depart from equipartition among charge sectors. We show that the existence of an sl⁽ᵏ⁾(2,R) subalgebra of the Virasoro algebra introduces a free parameter, the label k, which allows us to control the breakdown of equipartition. We argue that this effect originates from an explicit coupling between low- and high-frequency modes. Based on a general oscillator representation of the Virasoro algebra, we expect this mechanism to persist beyond the free boson CFT. Finally, we discuss how the real-time dynamics of fine-grained symmetry-resolved entropies of a boundary state are modified under non-unitary evolution, which can be associated with post-selected weak measurements.
