30 Watts charging adapter with a USB-C to USB-C cord to charge my new MacBook pro 14-inch

I am using a 30 Watts charging adapter with a USB-C to USB-C cord to charge my new MacBook pro 14-inch. Is that safe for the MacBook and its battery?

It seems to be charging fine but I don't know if there are any problems that it may bring about on MacBook in the future.

...

The reason I'm doing this is because the laptop came with a MacBook came with a MagSafe 3 charger but it isn't working anymore. So for the time being until I go to an apple store I would be charging my MacBook with the 30 Watts charging adapter with a USB-C to USB-C cord.

It's o.k, but it will be extremely slow to charge.

It won't damage the battery or cause any harm to the computer, but if you are using it while it charges it may not actually charge as 30watts is very little power for a 14" MBP.
