I plug my phone into my car for Android Auto using the usb-a to usb-c cable provided by Google with the first Pixel I think it was. Been using it that way with the Pixel and Pixel 2 with no problems. I noticed it seemed the Pixel 3 was gaining very little if any charge after my 30 minute commute just listening to podcasts. Downloaded the Ampere app to check it this morning. According to the app it is only charging at around 150mA. That isn't going to keep up when I have to use Maps for something. I really hope this gets modified by a future update.
This is an unacceptable design flaw that needs to be remedied.
It's almost like Google has coded the phone to cripple charging from any source that doesn't handshake as a Google product. /tinfoilhat
