3rd party charging cords no longer work

Just upgraded 6S to 14.4 software and now 3rd party charging cords don't seem to work any more. I get an error message saying this accessory may not be compatible, which it used to be. Is there a fix for this?

“This accessory may not be supported” I have tried multiple different chargers, brands of chargers and even methods of charging. No matter which cord I use though, I keep getting a message reading “This accessory may not be supported” After doing some research, I found that usually this means the cord isn’t verified by Apple, however some of the cords I was trying were Apple manufactured cords. If anyone knows how to fix this or has any recommendations about how to go about this, please don’t hesitate to help! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

iPad 7 only charges when connected directly to MBP Since a recent update, it’s currently running iPad OS 14.7..1, my iPad will only charge when directly connected to my MBP 2019. None of my wall chargers will work, even though they work fine on my iPhone 7 also running 14.7.1. I noticed others are having this same issue, as I found this old thread indicating the same problem, but it’s locked to new comments: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251647577 I tried power cycling and it does not help. The power adapter I use states “Designed by Apple in CA. Assembled in China.” 12W USB Power Adapter. I have also tried other adapters, and multiple lightening cables, all show the “Not Connected” message.
