Not my apple one.

Then it's either not genuine Apple or it's not Thunderbolt. This is what an Apple Thunderbolt cable looks like:

That's not a USB-C cable. The discussion is about USB-C cables capable of thunderbolt. Not the older, dedicated thunderbolt cables.

Good catch - still has a lightning bolt on it though.
Which made me realize…a lightning bolt symbol could just as easily be interpreted by laymen as “charging only”!

What a mess…

So…. with a lightning bolt then.
The standard MacBook charger that comes with any Apple laptop is not thunderbolt.
