Octo4a question and advice

Hi, is anyone running or have any experience of octo4a?

I've just set it up and successfully done a couple of test prints on my mk3s+ .However, I noticed that the battery was draining quickly on the phone (Huawei p20 pro) even though it was connected and being powered  through an otg hub. What I did notice was that the phone gave me a message saying it was reverse charging, suggesting it was providing power to the printer over usb via the otg hub. 

My question is, is this to be expected? admittedly the power supply to the hub is only about 12watts but my concern is that power seems to be being provided to the printer via the usb.
