WatchOS 8.3 Update Causing 3rd Party Wireless Charger to Drain Battery

Is anyone else experiencing erratic behavior on their Series 7 Watch after the 8.3 update with a 3rd party wireless charger (Belkin)? Right after the update my watch started flashing between screens (charging screen, unlock pin pad, watch face) and eventually drained the battery to 10%. Once I put it on the charger that came with the watch it charged fine, problems went away. I don't want my charger to become obsolete because of an update.

Exactly the same situation comes with my Prestigio Revolt A8 combo charging device. While iPhone would get an excellent load with it, Apple Watch stops the charging after app. 5 minutes. The vendor already noticed this issue, calling update to watchOS 8.3 as its main reason: https://prestigio.com/news/revolt-apple-watch-os-8-3
