Why is my fast charger connecting and disconnecting constantly?

So I recently bought Apples 18W Fast Charger (Outlet) and the 1M USB-C cable and I’ve been having the issue where the charger disconnects and then reconnects constantly, it still charges fast but it’s kind of annoying hearing that charging notification is this intended?

Why would a MacBook Pro only charge with an Insignia brand USB hub and original charging cable despite the original power adapter working on other devices? Hello, I have a MacBook Pro 2020 13in running Monterrey 13.1. Battery health is “normal”. My MBP has worked perfectly until today when I noticed my battery was low even though the charger was connected to the wall and to the laptop. I got the “low battery” warning and assumed my charger disconnected from the wall. I adjusted everything and my MPB still would not charge. I tried to use my iPad pro charger and it would not charge the MBP either. The weird thing is that my iPad pro was charging right before I disconnected it from the charger to try and charge my MBP. I tried to connect the iPad back to the iPad charger and it would not charge either. Its like my MBP disable my iPad charger from working. Next, I tried my MBP charger on my iPad and it worked, and then I tried the iPad charger again on the iPad and it also worked again for some reason. I connected a usb-c to Lightning cable to the power adapter for my MBP and connected my iPhone to it, and it worked as well. Fast forward to this evening, I bought a new MacBook 67W power adapter hoping that for some reason that is all it was even though the original was working on other devices. The new power adapter did not charge my MacBook or my iPad Pro but would charge my phone. Now neither my iPad Pro or MacBook Pro charge with any apple power adapter. My iPad will charge using a Belkin power adapter and usb-c cable. My MacBook will only charge (very slowly) connected to an Insignia brand usb hub via the original usb-c charging cable it came with. (I tried several outlets and they all work fine for other devices so that’s not the problem) What could be causing this? All of the power adapters, charging cables, and device are working properly, just not together. I contacted apple support and they set up a genius bar appointment for Saturday morning. I’m hoping to get this resolved by then so that I don’t have to make the trip to the Apple Store store cities away.

Hello VileA,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I understand the charger is constantly disconnecting. I'll gladly help in any way I cna.

The charger should not be disconnecting from your iPhone unless you have something like 'Optimized Charging' turned on (Settings > Battery > Battery Health.

If the above steps don't apply, try using another charger and cable to see if the same thing happens. Work through these as well: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't charge

Take care.
