Macbook not charging

Sometimes when plugged in, the power adapter is recognised, but in the menu bar under battery it says 'battery is not charging'.


Then when I unplug the charger, it still shows as plugged into to the power adapter, and not charging.


This is the original USB-C charger and cable that came with my MacBook (15" 2016).


Restarting the machine usually solves the issue for a while.

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.12
