So one hour of operation will consume not more than 5% of the mentioned 2200 mAh. Which leads to the question: how did you find out the power bank "was still full"? Does it have a battery system where you can at least approximately tell the charge level? Let alone discern subtle differences like 100%, 95% or 90%?

Being biased with the continous "low battery" I thought that the 50g absorbed way more current in one hour of 100% cpu. That was maybe my mistake. The powerbank approximate levels in 25% bars.

Well, I do have in the schedule longer computations, so, we will see how long it last, unless I find another bug in my program and I have to connect the 50g to the PC once again.
