PinePower desktop micro power breaks

While for charging phones (or any other battery powered device) this might not be a big deal, it does however dramatically lowers usefulness of PinePower:
* cannot plug my Raspberry Pi since it will power off completely every now and then
* cannot plug active USB hub with HDD attached as it may result in data loss
* powering Pinebook Pro through Pine's docking deck is very inconvenient -- docking deck starts to pull power from battery when power is unplugged and does not go back when power goes back so one might not even notice when this happens leading to complete battery discharge. Docking deck needs to be replugged to Pinebook Pro so it starts pulling power from socket again.

Did anyone else encounter such behavior?
Does it really happen on all the ports? Someone in another thread was experiencing power loss with their RPi on the USB-C port, but not on the green USB-A ports, possibly due to problems in handling USB PD on the attached device's side.
I don't have any device attached to my PinePower that needs constant power, but I frequently charge my PinePhone with it next to me on my desk and never heard the power disconnection sound it usually makes when the charger is disconnected/power is lost.
