How to prevent charging over USB while debugging / tethering internet over USB?

Question

When I'm on the go, I want to use internet tethering and debugging over USB to develop mobile apps with my Pixel 3A, but I don't want to charge the phone, because I want to waste energy on my MacBook as little as possible.


Is it possible to disable charging when the device is connected to my laptop, if so how? I know that I can set up debugging over WiFi and use a mobile hotspot, but I can't stand my hotspot performance and WiFi drains energy from my laptop as well.

Answer

I was looking for a solution that doesn't require root and I came across one. When USB tethering is on, I can get into its settings by touching on the notification:
swipe down and tap on the "USB tethering turned on" notification Toggle "Charge connected device"


There is a toggle that allows me to disable charging for this session.


Funny thing is I had to enable the toggle to disable charging, the option should be called "Don't charge connected device" instead.
