Quick answers

30 W or more, from a USB-C PD charger that supports PPS. Fast charges to about 55% in 30 minutes with a 30W or higher USB-C PPS charger.

How long does the Pixel 11 Pro take to charge with the Steam Deck 45W?

About 37 min to 50% and 1 h 45 min to full, estimated with the device idle.
