Connecting/Disconnecting USB-C hub to MacBook

Hello, the best Community ever! :)

My question may seem stupid, but it worries me.

I connect a monitor and an iPad to my MacBook Air 15" (2023) via a hub as a second and third screen. Since this connection charges the iPad in parallel, the Malbook's charge quickly runs out. Thus, I have to connect the hub while working and disconnect it as soon as I'm finishing my work.

I want to understand how much this process can physically harm my MacBook (from Thunderbolt ports to the battery). I mean the constant need to connect and disconnect the hub.


Thanks in advance!

MacBook Air (M2, 2023)
