MacBook Pro 16" charging with 40-50 Watts tops

[otozuz]

Hi, with Battery Health 2 and Coconut Battery I see that my MacBook Pro 16" is charging with around 40-50 watts tops and never goes higher than that. I'm using the original 96w Apple charger. Is this considered normal?

I'm also experiencing the issue of the battery draining in 3-4 hours, which I'm trying to figure out.

Are you using the Apple USB-C cable with the charger?

Yes.

After a bit more research it seems like it's normal that with normal usage the actual Watts needed to charge the computer is much lower than the actual capacity of the charger.
