Power Canon R5 via USB

[signmaster]

It appears that when BYE is connected to the Canon R5 it does not supply power to the R5. Once it is not connected, the laptop supplies power to the R5.

Is there a way to power the R5 over USB when using BYE?

The R5 may be designed differently from other models, but I do not believe that the USB connection is for charging. It is only for control. You need to use the battery or an A/C powered battery replacement to power the camera.

According to Canon, it does not charge will the camera is on.

Either way, this is not a BYE issue, it's a Canon design issue / implementation.
