    The USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter can only deliver 60W so the 15" MacBook Pro will NOT charge AT ALL if it is also being used heavily. I had this problem. Finally I found support doc HT207256: "MacBook Pro can receive a maximum of 60W of power through the Apple USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter or USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter. For the best charging performance on MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016), connect the power supply directly to your Mac."
