MacBook Pro 13” with Touchbar dead

"As I said it’s not the charger, it charges fine."

I must have misinterpreted: "it is almost like it isn’t charging as usually"

So...

• Try a NVRAM Reset: That would change hardware settings anew, moving settings and temporary files to where they should be. Go Here: Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

• Troubleshoot the Power: See if this page helps: Go Here: If your USB-C Power Adapter isn't Charging your Mac Notebook - Apple Support

The only thing I can think of is a lockup issue. I've seen it happen a few times on different Macs. I've heard of it happening on computers from different manufacturers, so it wouldn't be unique to Apple. The first time it happened to me, it was after plugging in a damaged USB cable. The MagSafe light started blinking different colors until it went dead. None of the buttons would work. I went through all the recommended keystrokes for an SMC reset. The fan was off and nothing would power on or power down. I did hear a faint buzzing sound from the logic board.

It's kind of hard to explain, but a computer can get into a zombie state where the power management system can't seem to recover without the power supply being completely cut off. It has to be in a certain state in order to power on from being shut down and holding the power button down only works if the power management is in a good state. With a desktop computer, that's easy enough to do by completely disconnecting the power cord. With a notebook computer that may require pulling the battery connector or allowing the battery to completely die then connecting it to power again.

I can't say this is your issue, but it's something to consider as a possibility.

"MacBook Pro 13” with Touchbar dead: [...]the charger works as I tested on my iPad, it is almost like it isn’t charging as usually Shen it’s plugged in I can feel the current in the MacBooks metal body but nothing. I don’t understand how it just isn’t charging it? Clearly earlier it must have somehow charged it slightly enough for me to start it.[...]"

Compare the Price for Charger Vs. Service?:

Whatever the price for a power adapter, it might be just as much, if not more than the price to get it serviced. Being that it is out of warranty, you can bring it to either an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store, where it would be evaluated for service. Wherever you bring the MacBook Pro, be sure to bring the Power Adapters and its USB cord along with you during the evaluation.
