Crowley's power level depends on his reign on Hell. If he is the King, he gains more powers. Every lower demon was afraid of Crowley, he could simply control them. When Abaddon became the ruler, Crowley didn't have his dominancy on demons anymore. They faced with Crowley and betrayed him many times. Even hit him.
