edit: OK, I figured it out. It appears that the power supply works the way Anker's website says, which I didn't understand at first. The two USB-C ports do not each seem to be capable of 100W. Or at least, the device seems to prioritize them differently. If I plug into port 1 (on the outside of the three ports) and have something else plugged into the center USB-C port, the one on the edge shows to the laptop as 35W available. If I reverse the plugs and connect the laptop to the center USB-C port, it shows as a 60W port.
I noticed this as well. It also seems when I plug just a cable into the charger (and nothing connected on the other end) it impacts the charger output as well. I've taken to just plugging in one or two things max.
