Charging on Strix G16

So I just bought a new Strix G16 around June, but I have already noticed a significant drop in my battery life. When I first got it, I tried to use it for a bit unplugged and Windows gave me an estimate of about 5 hours of battery life at 100%. Now, I do the same and it gives me about 2. I have been using it plugged in for most of the last couple months, but with the battery care mode on. Does it not support passthrough charging? Does it just stop the charging at 80% and then resume when it goes below or does it enable passthrough once it hits 80%? I've also been trying the USB-C charging since a USB-C charger is easier to carry around but I've noticed that despite the adapter and cable being rated for 100W, Windows still tells me that it's a slow charger and to use a higher-watt rated charger. Does this mean my charger is faulty or does it display this for every USB-C charger? The laptop's max input wattage is 100W, right? Also, if anybody has a power bank that they're using that actually is able to output 100W DC please tell me because I've used a couple so far that don't come close to their advertised wattage or capacity. I know these questions are a bit random but if anyone has an answer to any of them I would greatly appreciate it.

it's same like me , i have that issue about that type c power delivery , i ask to asus service center and customer service they answer little bit meh and just suggest use the original 280 watt charger , if you dont use it will destroy the motherboard , so annoying and why , if the device doesn't support type c charging power delivery then why you made the type c support power delivery , i hope it just bug
