So my 18w charger that came with 11pro Max won’t charge the 12pro max fast??
 
I thought the higher watt chargers are bad or wear the battery out faster. If that’s the case that’s Apple‘s way of saying hey upgrade your phone because your battery is bad or come get a replacement. I will probably continue using the five watt charger that comes with the older phones to charge it slowly overnight. I have never used the 20 watt or the 18 watt that came with my 11 pro max to charge, only the 5 watt. And after a year has passed, my battery health is only down to 95%

it’s funny that Apple wants you to purchase the charger in the store instead of including it in the box. There trying to save the planet but buying it in the store is really no different than sending it in a box because it still exists LOL. I guess not every new iPhone owner will purchase one...

Don’t measure a company solely by its retail employees.
 
I have a 30w Anker fast charger, its just a little bit bigger than an older style Apple charger. Would that be ok? Love that thing..

Should be fine. I’ve been using a 30w multi port charger for a while across multiple devices.
