I was going to ask how to test these things as I need to do some housekeeping too. I just found out about (and bought) a digital USB volt/amp meters. Here's an example. [0]

edit:
I just read this write-up [1], which clearly explained why the 65W USB C charging hub I bought doesn't necessarily enable "super fast charging" on my Samsung phone. Chargers and cables need to meet PD3.0 standard with PPS support to dynamically negotiate the volts and amps to maximize power throughput safely. Otherwise, you get auto-downgraded due to sticky default voltages.

My go to device for a quick check and at $17 hard to beat retrieving basic values of the usb connection like current/power/other. https://www.amazon.com/Eversame-Multimeter-Voltmeter-Indicat...
