I'm not sure. I have a 2019 mbp 16 with a dodgy logic board and while it crashes even without charging on the left it definitely crashes more often when charging on the left. I'm stuck in limbo because I need my machine for work. Will take it in when I have a break.

I also have 2019 MBP16 and i am using a dock/charging on the left side - i think the system froze once in a year so i don't seem to have this issue.

Did you buy the stock spec or custom?

Are the Apple Stores in your area even open to take the laptop in? I have delayed my attempt to get my keyboard looked at because of Covid.

In Berlin everything is pretty much open (loosely enforced indoor mask and social distancing mandates). They’re not trying to eliminate the virus here like they do in Singapore or Australia. They track 3 values and depending on the scores they escalate or ease restrictions.

Have found success with pressing hard on stuck keys to unstick them.
