Macbook Pro Charging Cable Advise

Hi, I have the MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021), recently the USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable has stopped working.

Luckily i had a '240W USB-C Charge Cable' so i'm currently using that as my charging cable.

My question is, in the long term is the 240W USB-C suitable to be the main charging cable or do i need to purchase another USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.2

Can 2023 MacBook Pro charge at 140W via USB-C? I just ordered a 2023 16" MacBook Pro. I know it comes with the 140W charger plus a USB-C to MagSafe 3 adapter. I plan to order a 2nd 140W charger for travel use but what I'd like to know is do I need to purchase a USB-C to MagSafe 3 adapter or can I use a USB-C cable for 140W charging. I know USB-C cables are being sold now that support up to 240W charging. From what I've read the 2021 MacBook Pro did not support the new USB PD 3.1 charging spec via USB-C. Does anyone know if the 2023 USB-C ports support the faster charging standard?

Charge a MacBook Pro 2019 16" with the Thunderbolt Display 27" MagSafe cable by using an adapter? Can I charge a MacBook Pro 2019 16" with the Thunderbolt Display 27" MagSafe cable by using an adapter? I found this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08SBX99N1 But it states that it is not recommended for this purpose because of the low Watt output. But would it be unsafe to use it or would the charging just be slow?

Charging Macbook Pro with 1m USB-C Is it safe to use a USB-C Charging Cable (1m) with a 61W Power Adapter to charge my Macbook Pro 2017? The 1m cable is thinner than the 2m cable that came along with the Mac. Will this cause any serious issues?
