Use BatteryBot Pro (in f-droid) and see what the time interval is for
each % of capacity, with the powerbank and without.

It may be that the phone is using so much power that it's more than the
delivered charging current.

Also, some chargers are only the 500 mA USB spec, and some are more, and
detect devices that can handle more in various ways, all a bit messy.

However, I can tell you that on various phones over the years, being
plugged into a car charger (Anker lighter socket usually), the charger
was able to produce a net charge.  The exception was all of:

  - very hot temperature
  - running osmand for an hour solidly
  - no cellular service

(which is I-70 in Utah for the curious).
