Recently, when I try to unlock phone using rest finger on touch id, it doesn't work, and I have to press the home button. I have tried restarting and even removed my fingerprints and installed again. I have an iphone SE 2020 version.

go to Settings > Accessibility > Home Button and turn on Rest Finger to Open.

You may need to open with side button first.

Try Troubleshooting the Power:


Start Here: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't charge - Apple Support. Make sure there is power to the socket.


Getting a New Cable for Charging:

Also, consider getting a new cable for charging your iPhone. It doesn't have to be of Apple brand, though I find it being a bit more trustworthy going brand-for-brand, being such an expensive device.
