This happened with my 2019 16" MBP (i9 8-core 2.3GHz). No charger, including Apple's own 96W, was enough when doing something heavy like CPU video encoding.
Last year I had to convert some blu-ray movies so I could stream them to my TV and it was common to go to bed with 100% and wake up at 20% or so. Throttling kicks in when the battery is too low, so I don't think it would shut down, but yeah, this was one of its flaws.
It also overheats and throttles very quickly (~1 minute) even with a more aggressive fan curve or even fans manually set to run at 100%. This can be managed by disabling Intel's Turbo Boost or by using Monterey's power saving mode, but that's not something one expects to do on a "Pro" machine.
