Using two powered USB hubs?

I have a MacBook Pro with two USB C ports. Im wondering if it is ok to use two powered USB hubs at the same time. I'm concerned about feeding power to the MacBook on both ports.

Anyone else do this?

Thanks

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.1

No issue. The Mac will not overcharge, it regulates any added power source and will pick just one for power input.
