> Even with 140W 3rd party chargers from Anker, Ugreen, Insignia, etc.

I use a 140 W UGREEN charger with mine (X762 - https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Charger-Charging-Foldable-MacB...) and it charges fine at full speed on both Windows 11 and Arch. If you're looking for a "it just does all of the things" USB cable to go with that, I pair said charger/laptop with https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DRP25V8T in my bag (1 short and 1 long).

I think the requirement is your charger + cable both support 140 W single port charging (not just that the charger support 140 W overall or that the charger does but cable doesn't). I've noticed 100 W cables/chargers seem to work, but it says slow charging when I do so I don't use them. Lower negotiated PD rates than that only work when powered off.
