R5c usb power requires USB PD with 9V at minimum of 3A (27W min).

USB PD power sources can supply different voltages, so need to look specifically for 9V. The specific voltage used is negotiated when USB PD power is applied.

Is this from your own experimentation or did it from from a Canon reference?

From online sources (such as Canon, B&H, so forth). Sorry I don't have a link references for you. I just kept my conclusions when I research this. Info, as you say, is not easy to come by.

I'll add, the R5c will ignore a USB PD power source if it cannot provide 9V. Current (A) though is drawn as needed and can be less than 3A depending on lens use (such as using manual focus).

I just checked my R5c on USB PD power.  With a manual lens, the camera is drawing 13W (or 1.5A).  I only have a manual lens (the Canon VR lens).
