Can I block my Essential Phone from supplying power through USB?

Whenever I plug my phone into another using the USB C cord it always starts giving power to the phone or device, in this immediate example: my cars aux port. (Using the USB C to aux adapter) the phone says it is giving the car power, and when I use the pull down menu to assess, it gives me the option to 'disable' however when I click that the menu disappears until I pull the status bar down again and the option is there and still enabled. Any help? Is my phone going to be dying faster when using the aux?
 
Welcome to AC.

The USB-C to 3.5mm adapter has a chipset inside so the phone will always have to supply a minimal amount of power to the adapter. It won't drain your battery unnecessarily. I've put in a couple hours of music and not noticed it drain any more quickly than other SD835 based phones.
