The 10 foot cable I bought for my nightstand now lives in my truck

My phone died at 2am in a hotel room in Phoenix and the only outlet was across the room, so I grabbed a 10 foot USB-C cord for travel. Turns out the 100w rating on the label was a lie, it kept dropping to trickle charge after 20 minutes. Anyone else find that long cables from random brands just can't hold the wattage under load?

Wondering if a 20 minute trickle charge is really the end of the world?

20 minute trickle charge is really the end of the world?" nah, @webb.val, people act like it's a four hour wait. I'd just grab a coffee and scroll. Not a big deal.
