Simple question: How fast does your Pixel or Pixel XL charge? From 0% too 100%? Or simply low battery to 100%?
 
I try and never let mine go under 35-40%. From that % to full it takes about an hourish (to an hour and 15 mins). This is using the official Google Pixel chargers (18W) with my Pixel XL.
 
This was my unofficial test with the Pixel, Pixel XL, Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P:

I was getting .64 mAh/second on the regular Pixel and .59 mAh/second on the Pixel XL.
 
I almost always charge it by the time I'm at 50% but seems like from the fifties to 90% I get about 1% per minute.
 
I have the regular Pixel, from 15% to 100%...roughly 80 mins. Don't know if that's slow or fast
 
Average 1% per minute with regular charger and Benson approved cable
