Default Priming sugar in keg

So I decided to try putting priming sugar in my keg and letting it naturally carbonate. Of course I did this before reading about it. I put the regular amount of priming sugar I would put in to bottle my beer. But I read you should only use half as much.

Am I screwed?
Anything I can do?( just out it in yesterday.)

Don't worry...worst that happens is you over carb...you are carbing in a keg, simply burp it as needed to reduce pressure and carbination...and there are plenty of threads how to reduce over carbed kegs.

And why prime with sugar? Chill, set to 12 to 15 psi, and forget about the keg for two weeks...perfect!

Thanks. Well I have 2 kegs on right now (2 taps). Also I don't have the equipment to set one different pressure on 2 different kegs. I realize I really need to spend the cash and get that
