There is no such thing as reverse charging your MacBook with an iPhone 15 Pro. You can only charge your iPhone 15 Pro with your MacBook.

[iPhone15] Reverse charging not working When I connect any power consuming device like an audio interface, another (Android) smartphone or a cheap bluetooth speaker due an USB-C to USB-A adapter the iPhone does not deliver any power output. Also I don't get any notification that a device was connected or something like that. I tested the same combination of adapter/cables/device with an USB-C port of a MacBook and confirmed that it's working fine there. So the issue is clearly on the phone side. Do I have to change any settings to make this work?
