MBP14 "Battery not charging" issue

[pi6xjdskfa]

Hi,

Got a MBP M1 Max 14" laptop in Feb 2022 and I have recently had "battery not charging" warning when I click on the battery sign. The computer states that power adapter is connected but unit not charging. I do not have "optimized battery charging" activated. I am using original Macbook charger and magsafe cable.

When I reset SMC the laptop then charges via the adapter.

However, this is the third time this has happened in less than a week and not sure why it keeps happening. I cleaned the magsafe cable/laptop port but that did not solve the issue. Only resetting SMC worked. Now would like to prevent it.

With an Apple original power adapter and magsafe cable?

Same problem but charging via USB-C (original Apple power adapter and original Apple USB-C-cable). Haven't tried resetting SMC yet.

Did you use charge limiter app, like Aldente and others? If so (which I do as well), you may need to do SMC reset once a while.
