There is a claim that a static charged black hole (Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black hole) can be overcharged by absorbing a charged test particle. If it is true, it might give a counter example to the weak cosmic censorship conjecture, which states that spacetime singularities are never observed by a distant observer. However, so far the proposed process has only been analyzed within a test particle approximation. Here we claim that the back reaction effects of a charged particle cannot be neglected when judging whether the suggested process is really a counter example to the cosmic censorship conjecture or not. Furthermore, we argue that all the back reaction effects can be properly taken into account when we consider the trajectory of a particle on the border between the plunge and bounce orbits. In such marginal cases we find that the Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black hole can never be overcharged via the absorption of a charged particle. Since all the plunge orbits are expected to have a higher energy than the marginal orbit, we conclude that there is no supporting evidence that indicates the violation of the cosmic censorship in the proposed overcharging process.

Violating Weak Cosmic Censorship in AdS$_3$ via Gedanken Experiment
Under the test-particle approximation, an extremal quantum-corrected BTZ black hole can have its horizon destroyed by a particle with large angular momentum, giving a potential counterexample to weak cosmic censorship.
