That's a design issue.
Some ports implement overcurrent protection by self healing fuses.
Others do not even that.
I've seen many awfull cheap implementations.

I had seen similar problems with a self build device on some ports.
It turned out to be a problem with the device oscillator to not
properly work under some conditions.
