I copied all from the A2Z EV Shop YouTube of the CCS1 Thunderstorm Plug (8/6/22):Not according to what someone posted upthread (bold emphasis mine):
@CaptUAL where did you copy those specs from and at what time?
I dug up your own post from not that long ago, it says 200A also:
Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach
just received my gen 4 ecu and bundle of wires with board from 2muchsun 😊 Well my bundle looked nothing like that and I ordered July 5th, now going back to the listing shows this updated version (and it's cheaper).teslamotorsclub.com
Did the specs get edited at some point? Seems kind of iffy to bump it up by 100A like that. These specs perhaps need to specify how many minutes it can withstand at those currents.
The internet archive unfortunately did not have their product page cached so I can't tell when they edited it.
Actually that is the core issue. Because it's a passive adapter, Tesla has no way to tell what kind of adapter is attached (it can only assume the OEM one is attached). The adapter itself also has no way to specify a lower current limit to either the car or the charger (this is unlike the Mobile connector which does have a method to tell the car how many amps is the limit depending on what adapter is connected).

Chinese companies like to make cheap copies of what we have in USA/Canada. They have no shame in taking the exact same designs but putting some crap inside. I had a friend who made a random product himself and been on lookout to find a factory in China to make his product. 2 weeks later his product was on aliexpress selling for half what it cost him to make.
