M1 Pro MBP occasionally doesn't charge

[badlydrawnboy]

Last night I plugged my M1 Pro 14" MBP in to charge before going to sleep. When I woke up, it was still at 33% and hadn't charged at all.

I unplugged the power adapter and plugged it back in. Still not charging.

I shut it down, unplugged the adapter, then plugged it back in. It automatically started up and is now charging.

This has happened a few times since I got the computer. Any idea what's happening or how to fix this?

Are you using the power adapter/cable that it came with?

Sometimes.

Other times I use a Thunderbolt 3 cable that is attached to my OWC Thunderbolt 3 dock. When I'm at home, I usually plug the MBP into the dock (which is connected to my external monitor and peripherals).

This usually charges the MBP just fine, but come to think of it, I believe that all of my "charging failures" have happened when the computer was plugged into the dock (rather than the supplied power adapter).

That’s why I asked, a lot of times people will talk about an issue such as this but fail to mention all the stuff the have connected, etc. and that ends up being the problem.

happens to me too when charging with usb c cable, restart always help

I guess I'll just set up my Mag-Safe charging cable in the same area and plug it into that every night. I was going for the "do it all with a single cable" simplicity, but it's no big deal to add one more!

Try taking it to Apple. Seems like the power center is dying prematurely.

I own a MBP 16 M1 and does the same thing, maybe a software bug?

I have this issue right after the Ventura update.
A restart does not help.
