Problem with USB C port & charging? (alien.top)

My 15 pro max randomly stops/starts charging via USB C cable. I charge it using the supplied cable in the box and apple 20w charging brick.

I realize this today when I plugged it in, left it on the table, and I came back after 1 hour, it barely charged the phone. So i stayed to observe my phone. And soon enough, after a few mins, the screen will light up, the charging will stop and then start again. The screen will turn off after that. Then after a few minutes, the screen will turn on, showing that charging will disconnect then connect again!

What i did was pulled the cable out from the phone’s port, flipped the cable, then plugged it in again. I noticed as well that the port on my phone seems a bit loose? The cable wiggles even when it’s plugged in. After doing this, my 15 pro max didn’t disconnect/connect from charging. It charged normally as it should.

WHAT IS HAPPENING? Anyone experiencing this too??

From my personal experience with type c in Android phones, these basically means the USB C port is faulty and needs to be replaced. Better find the root cause by checking with different bricks and type c cables.

I tried charging my phone using a diff usb c cable. It is not wiggling/loose like the apple cable. And it charged my phone normally. So maybe the problem is with the apple usb c cable?
