Product: HP USB-C Dock G5

I had an upgrade of the latest firmware for HP USB-C Dock G5 1.0.16.0 Rev.A.

 

Now I have an issue that sometimes Dock stops charging the battery.  Ironically, the version 1.0.16.0 claims to solve some problems with the power supply which I did not have before.

 

This makes my battery drain to 0 and turns off the laptop. Dock is connected to 2 24" monitors, a mouse, and a keyboard, and they are working without a problem during this time. 

 

I am using the dock with my HP 840 G8 laptop with installed Linux Ubuntu (22.04 latest stable LTS).

 

And as a side note, the battery lasts and always did, 3 hours (Intel i7, 32GB ram, 1,000 nits). So now I have to struggle and stop my work from time to time.
