I’m sure it’s overkill but I wanted to know how much power my laptop or whatever was actually drawing.

LTT did a lot of work to prove their cables do everything they say:

(these are what I would buy from a sea of cables, not the cheapest, but far from the most expensive)
You don’t really want that. A thunderbolt cable is both stiff and expensive. They only really make sense to leave attached to the back of a monitor or dock.
What would work better is a flexible 100w+ usb3 cable. You can’t do thunderbolt on it but it’s a tiny fraction of the cost and does everything you’d actually need on the go.
If you actually do want it, this is the do everything cable https://www.apple.com/au/xc/product/MW5H3ZA/A
