If the "special mode" is what I think it is, it's just a battery saving method that's also used on the Steam Deck. With that, it requires being plugged in to turn on at all, otherwise it just remains in stasis. After it turns on, it operates normally.
The recommended adapter specs are most likely just for optimal charging, nothing to do with the stasis mode.
