That can't be true right? PD (and some Chinese standards) have insane wattage allocation/allowances, there's no way that a mobile CPU can pull over that amount, it's more that they don't support it.


> device can accept over USB PD

Accept, not what the power supply can supply. Cell phones aren't being made with massive laptop-sized 100W accepting circuitry.

Surprisingly they are, supervooc goes up to 120w now (which is insane), there is also a Motorola phone which also does 68w via PD standard

As for past through charging, it's actually apparently more common then I knew.

Google does it as part of their "adaptive" charging (hits 80% then does pass through) and the OnePlus etc also do it with a settings for gaming.
