Macbook is charging backwards/not charging?

It happened twice - I plugged it in and it showed that it was charging, but the percent only went down. And yesterday while it was happening I shut it down, thinking it would be some sort of reboot for mac, and left it charging for the night, but it didn't charge! Battery went to complete 0 by the morning. I replugged it and it started charging normally. Should I be concerned?

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15

Well I certainly would be concerned. You do not say what exact Mac this is...
