Mac can draw more power than a power adapter can supply. In short bursts this is fine.

Some apps (CIv6) will drain the battery completely when plugged in.

No idea if this is related

Are you talking about M1 Macbook Air? Since Apple sell M1 Macbook Air with 30W adapter and I guess it can draw more than 30W, but personally I haven't seen any of it while playing both GPU / CPU intensive games.
