There’s nothing wrong with the device, Lenovo has confirmed this, and both motherboards my laptop has had have the same “problem”. This isn’t my only machine like this either, 16" Intel MacBook Pros are also known to discharge under full load, but that’s because they’re limited to 100 watt USB C.
There’s a reason why those devices run at minimum clock speeds when their battery is sub 5%.

That’s a terrible design then. I would never want a device that would do that

Well I hope you don’t like ThinkPads…

I don’t but that’s beside the point

My Lenovo P1 with an i7 and a Nvidia 4900 and a 230W adapter is wondering what you’re talking about.
