Some people were saying the Switch charger is buggy/broken. No, just paranoid. Your device is broken. Charger needs power cycle to reset.
PSA: if you try to use your Nintendo Switch charger with another Type C device and it cuts off, it's your *device's* fault. Pulling >1.5A.

The Nintendo Switch charger *correctly* identifies itself as a 1.5A capable charger. Many devices *incorrectly* try to draw more current.

Do we know what, if any, Power Delivery spec the Switch charger meets?
-
The label says 5V/1.5A and 15V/2.6A. Type C-wise it advertises 1.5A. Not sure about PD negotiation, but the 5X sees Type C 1.5A.

are type c devices not supposed to do that period, or do they just need diff charger?

Devices are not supposed to draw more than what the charger advertises. Type A devices are not supposed to draw >1.5A.
