USB-C - Power Delivery configuration options?

Is there any way to see or configure Ubuntu's Power Delivery options?

One of my USB-C chargers doesn't provide sufficient power to my laptop.

  • 45W charger - works on an Ubuntu laptop and ChromeBook
  • 65W charger - works on an Ubuntu laptop and ChromeBook
  • 85W charger - works on a ChromeBook, but only supplies about 20W to the Ubuntu laptop

I've tried different PD USB-C cables of different lengths. They all exhibit the same issue, but only on this specific laptop.

I can run:

$ upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0

To see how long the battery will take to charge, but I can't see how much power is being delivered.

Is there any way to see or configure what my laptop is negotiating?
