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.
Some people were saying the Switch charger is buggy/broken. No, just paranoid. Your device is broken. Charger needs power cycle to reset.

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

And yes, the Nexus 5X is one such noncompliant device, as is Anker's PowerCore 20100 :(

tried to charge a friend's phone with it and after that my switch wouldn't charge anymore... so just need to power cycle charger?
-
Yes. Unplug it and plug it back in. Your friend's phone violates the spec.
