Swapped my older iPhone for 16 pro… tried to plugin to usb to charge and it says the device is asking for too much power and isn’t supported. Anyone else see this ?

Try a different cable. USB C ports support USB Power Delivery (PD), which basically means they are capable to negotiate the optimal amount of power required by the device, so what you describe should never happen, unless Porsche used some cheap USB C ports with missing connections, which i highly doubt

Agree. Using an Apple braided UBC to UBC or an Anker cable has worked fine in our MY 2022 GTS. We never use the MagSafe charging bracket in the center console however. It tends to overheat the phone.

I bought a high quality 12V to USB-C adapter from Anker, and connected it in the center console. This seems to be the fastest way to charge a phone, and it doesn't have to negotiate a delivery method with the in-car USB-C chipset.
