Macbook doesn't charge

[Chrknu]

Heya guys. Something weird happened today. I came home from work and my battery was at around 70%, which is normal.

I plugged in my charger and didn't notice anything strange until I later in the evening noticed that the battery showed 17%. It said plugged in, but not charging (but not the notice of not being used enough to limit charging, and no message to fully charge now)

I unplugged it and it took like 20 seconds for it to notice and the battery dropped to 10%. I plugged the charger back in --> 10 seconds later it noticed the charger and gave the same message.

I tried to do a reboot, but that shut down the Macbook and now it's dead. Took out the charger --> plugged it back in about an hour ago, but still can't turn on the MacBook.

I'm using the original charger/cable, but I have tried other ones as well now. Charging has never been an issues before.

What to do?

I took the Macbook to the apple store today and when I opened the lid, I was greeted with the needs charge symbol. It stood to charge all night.

Anyways, I explained the situation to the guy at the store and he explained that there might have been a software bug and when the battery was completely drained, it reset the VRAM and the SMC.

I tried all the reset techniques when the Macbook was dead, but no luck. I'm at home again now and it's charging like it's supposed to. I'm hoping it was just a weird error.

I wanted to put off updating to Ventura, but I guess I'll do it now, hoping whatever was wrong will not reappear in the new OS
