A similar problem appeared on my wife's iPhone 17e. When the phone was plugged into a Belkin power bank, there was a message that the attached device (presumably the Belkin power bank was drawing too much power. It appeared that the Belkin power device was trying to charge itself from the iPhone. The Belkin device was down to half charge. Assuming that the iPhone can identify that the attached device is a power bank, I don't think that phone should ever try to charge the power bank. It could be something in the PD handshaking. It seemed to have failed with a lightning cable, but worked with a non-lightning cable. It appears to depend on the percent charge on the phone and power bank as well as the connecting cable. I told her that if she had more problems, that she try different makes of power banks and cords until she found a working combination.
