For calculating inrush current in a ceramic capacitor , do we need to consider the effective capacitance after derating for dc-bias effect?

Inrush current happens when capacitor is initially charged from 0V to the intended rail voltage. What should be the effective capacitance to be considered during this charging? -Since the voltage ...
