16inch MacbookPro randomly disconnects from power

My Macbook Pro keeps randomly disconnecting from charging which is really annoying as it loses power really quickly, I'm not sure why. I've had this for not even a year and this issue is really frustrating. Also, I am using the 96W power brick and original apple cable as well. I keep getting a "thunderbolt power on failed" error as well which happens after it randomly restarts itself as well. As to steps I've taken, I've:


  1. tried all ports
  2. Reset SMC
  3. Reset NVRAM
