Possibly a case of faulty chips that were supposed to be able to handle 240w, failed QA and got binned and slapped in a 100w cable thinking it’s fine and users would just know.
But honestly who is pumping 240w through a magnetic connector in the first place?!? My MacBook Pro only has a 96w power supply. I mean are you charging a bike with that thing?
usb-c epr supports up to 240w. its still fairly limited on what devices will use that value, but for example, a framework 16 laptop with the 7700s dgpu option can easily pull 180w over usb-c.
no one has practically implemented magnetic cables with the new EPR standard yet though.

Yeah that would be my guess as well.

I’m really curious to see this!
