Will a current Macbook Pro 14/16" charge with 100 or 140W over USB-C?

The Macbook Pro 16" comes with a 140 W magsafe charger.

If you charge it over USB-C, is it limited to 100/96 W or will it also go to 140?

(insert "this one goes to 11" meme)
 
Not sure if I've seen it go higher than that. Typically it tops out around 80-90W for me. I'm using a third party braided usb-c cable with L shaped end that's rated for >200W. Using the included magsafe cable it will go higher. Either way it charges decently fast for a 100Wh pack!

My experience also but with a M1 16” pro. USB c seems to charge as fast but I’ve never checked numbers. I use MagSafe when I’m at home usb c on a 100W brick at work. Seems plenty fast enough either way.
