Both can mean "all at once," so are they interchangeable or is there a
different nuance to each?

What's the difference between 一度に and 一気に?
一気に is like saying “in one breath” and it always describes the quickness of
some action, while 一度に is more like “at a time” in the sense of "per time" or
“not on separate occasions”, and it says nothing about the duration. It may
just happen to be a short time.

> 彼は一気に水を３杯飲んだ。  
>  He drank three glasses of water in one go.

> 彼は一度に水を３杯飲む。  
>  He drinks three glasses of water at a time (= per time).
