Good advice.
I always charge a new device but this instruction should be included in the little set-up guide. Particularly as a lot of people either won't have another high output charger with a USB-C connection or a USB to USB-C cable.
The Oculus charger is rated for 3 amps according to the label which is quite high. Quick charging phone chargers tend to be around the 2A rating and my tablet (which I thought was my highest output charger) is rated for 1.5A.
Edit: I'm wondering if there's charging protection circuitry in the Oculus charger itself that would have caused your problem rather than in the headset. Just a thought.

Received my Quest today and the first thing I did was put it on charge, not even powered it on yet. Now been charging for just over 2 hours and the LED is still amber? I have read full charge should take around 1 hour 45 mins from 5% on a review somewhere, the battery can't have been that depleted when I received it?

You can see how charged it is when charging by tapping (not holding) the power button - an indicator will appear in the headset for a second.

You need both voltage and amperage to know how many watts (W=V*A) your charger can deliver. Your quick charger is probably 9V/2A (18W). So if the Quest charger is 5V(?) and 3A it will still be less (15W) then the 2A charger.
And using a weaker charger is not harmfull. It only means the charge will take longer, and your battery will thank you for that in the long run. Anything else like refusing to take a charge, means there is a fault in the Quest charging logic as you mentioned.
The reason I mentioned that the Oculus charger has a high rating is because the OP said using another charger cured the problem of getting the headset to charge so this tells me the problem probably isn't that the Oculus charger is being called to do too much.
It may be that the OPs Oculus charger has faulty regulation. Well just guessing.
