what current does the Pi need when working without the monitor?
Works fine on a Pi 4 power supply which is 3amp without PD. That is running from microSD. Some SSDs and disks stress that supply.

Should work from cheap block with 40watt for type C to Pi 5 and 15/20 watt for the screen that needs only 8 watt. But Pi power uses 5.1 volts instead of 5 volts to overcome cable resistance. Some cables have too much resistance to use ordinary power supplies.
If you're using a Pi 5, then have a look at the PMIC ADC readout:

Code:
