On my old laptop, the maximum the USB A ports could supply while maintaining a 5V output was 380mA. By the time, I was drawing 500mA, the output voltage had dropped to 4.45V which is well out of spec (5V +/- 5% so 4.75-5.25V).

Aha! It seems to have been the port. I have two USB-C ports. The one I use to charge the notebook worked almost immediately.
Not something I would have thought of, especially since the other port works fine for charging and transferring data with many other devices.
