  • Wattson now tells you when the cable is what's capping your charge. The charger's card says "This cable is capping power at 60 W" only when that can be proven. The cable's own chip has to state 3 A, or the same Apple charger (matched by serial) has to have offered more before. The Mac also has to be drawing the full 60 W and able to take more. A plain charging cable usually has no chip to ask, and a charger hides its real rating behind such a cable. In that case Wattson says nothing rather than guess.
  • A charger's wattage is now called what it is: an offer, not a rating. Through a cable it can't confirm for 5 A, a 100 W charger offers only 60 W, and Wattson used to call that a "60 W rated" charger. The card now says "offering 60 W". --dump says "60 W offered", and the menu bar option is "Charger offer".
  • No more "up to 0 A" offers. A leftover PPS entry with no current in it no longer appears under "Also offers".
