So I have used the same USB-C cable with a wall socket adapter, both from apple, for about 4 years. A few days ago, when I connected the cable, it said it was an accessory and to unlock to use, which as I understand it is the usual behaviour for accessory's. But the cable shouldn't be recognised as that. Then, looking at the battery graph while it's charging, it comes up as orange, which indicates slow charging as far as I know. I find this pretty confusing as even if there was an issue with the cable, that shouldn't result in it being recognised as a USB-C accessory, right?

Anyone have any ideas what's going on?
