MagSafe Duo chargers vrs wall charger/connector

can I use a 30W USB-C charger with magsafe duo wireless charger? I was going through the details in the magsafe duo description and there is a comment: 29W chargers are not compatible with Magsafe Duo.

Nevetheless, in another section, it calls for recommended chargers and it includes 20W or higher chargers.

I was not able to find a 29W charger in the Apple website, but just a 30W charger. So I'm confused and I'm wondering if the 29W non compatible charger is in fact, a 30W charger available in the Apple website.

I'm looking for the fastest way to charge my devices using a Mag Safe Duo.

The Apple 29 watt power adapter was discontinued. I don't believe that Apple has ever published any details of why it is not recommended for the MagSafe Duo.

The Apple 30W 30W USB‑C Power Adapter - Apple or larger or other brands that meet the following (from https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MHXF3AM/A/magsafe-duo-charge ) are recommend:

– 27W or higher USB-C Power Adapter that supports 9V/3A (sold separately) for faster wireless charging up to 14W
