MacBook Pro and a being fickle when charging now

I have to constantly unplug and replug my MacBook Pro 16” to get it charging (i.e. when the light on the charging cable turns on). Most of the time, I have to keep unplugging and replugging and the light won’t turn on until I’ve plugged it 10+ times. None of the pins in the charging port or cable look damaged. I am using the charging brick that came with my MacBook but I bought a longer cable to plug it in, but that’s also Apple.

If I have to take it in I will, but if anyone has any ideas on what’s happening or how to fix it before I have to do that, I would be very appreciative.

there are alternative ways to charge— try your USBC charging cable

Unplug the power adapter from the wall, wait 60 seconds and then plug the adapter back in to reset the internals
