unplug the accessory using too much power to re-enable usb devices

Hi,

I have this issue every time I plug in one of my adapters to my MacBook Pro 2016 (USB Type C port), it gives this error message "unplug the accessory using too much power to re-enable usb devices" It used to work before now. It just recently developed this problem.

What do I need to do to resolve the issue?
