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.

I'm having a similar issue with my BlueBolt all-in-one charger. (Charges iphone, watch and earpods). The watch isn't charging, but charges fine on Apple branded puck chargers. Was working fine for me until WatchOS 8.3
