It will charge your Mac, but more slowly and your Mac will sometimes use battery power even while connected to the monitor.


Apple does not recommend using a lower wattage charger than what comes with your Mac.


You can connect your Apple charger and the display, the Mac will use the Apple charger for power.

I don't know what the minimum is but these two things may be of interest if you aren't already aware:


The current 16" MacBook Pro comes with a 96W power adapter. See the "In the box" section of MacBook Pro 16-inch - Technical Specifications - Apple


The 61W adapter sold by Apple is not listed as compatible. See the Compatibility section of: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MRW22LL/A/61w-usb-c-power-adapter
