Is anyone else getting problems with charging from an external USB charger after the latest DualSense update?

We updated both controllers, and now neither will charge from an Anker USB charger we've been using. They both charge from the PS5 itself. The charger works fine for phones.

It's like they've updated them to no longer charge from any source other than the PS5, and maybe official PS5 charging docks. Don't have one of those to test.

Annoying to say the least, as it means playing while charging now needs a cable trailing across the living room floor.

That's very strange behavior but I'm glad to hear you have a workaround.

I am pretty sure that the Dualsense controllers do not implement the USB-C charging standard correctly, or Sony has done some additional proprietary stuff to it. As someone who wants to USB-C all the things, this is extra annoying to me.
