Acer Spin 5 SP513-55N-500l USB charging

Hi, just bought new Spin 5 SP513-55N-500L. Is it so that there is not any "slow" charging mode via USB-C? Even Apple 30W charger not work? There found some topics that needed 20V/60W charger but also some issues with even bigger ones. This sound very bad design fault to save few cents of cost. Is there any real specs what minimum needed?
For comparison, current M1 Air accept _all_ chargers even my oldest power bank what was give 5V and 0.8A = 4W! tested just now for curiosity. I´m understood very well that smaller charger may not actual fill up battery when power on but with M1 I have used many times regular phone charges extend battery life or leave charge over night when traveling and it has been fine.

Specs say it needs 60W at 20V. I would expect a slower charge with less than 60W, including the possibility of a slower discharge if the system is running, but it should need 20V. So 20V at 3A is plenty, 5V even at 12A wouldn't work.

I check, that Apple 30W charger is 20V rated, still hope that this is only some combability issue. Just bought one 100W and HP 65W, both are bulky but works ok.
Is anybody managed USB charge Spin 5 lower watt rated power than 60W?

Yeah, if the Apple charger can put our 30W I would expect the system to last longer with it connected than without, but not to actually charge unless the system is shut down.
