-The lowest current limit programmed into the charger. This determines both the
-default level used on startup, and the value used during the voltage transients
-in PD negotiation.
+The default charger current limit used on startup and for inactive ports. It
+should not be higher than 512 mA unless the device ships with a discrete power

+### `CONFIG_CHARGER_MIN_INPUT_CURRENT_LIMIT`
+
+Optional.
+
+If set, charger input current limits will never be set lower than this value.
+Historically most boards used the same value
+as `CONFIG_CHARGER_DEFAULT_CURRENT_LIMIT`, but doing so violates USB-PD standby
+power requirements when voltages greater than 5V are used with the default 512
+mA value. Configuring this option to a nonzero value may be useful if a board
+needs extra headroom (possibly at the cost of drawing excess standby power), but
+boards should prefer to override `board_set_charge_limit()` instead to limit
+situations with excess power draw to only occur when that extra power is needed.
