Hi Sillyually,



Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you're having an issue with your MacBook Pro battery. We're happy to help.


Have you tried a different power source or are you able to test with another charger?


If so, and the issue remains we recommend starting with the steps here: If your Mac battery won’t charge

This includes steps for an SMC reset.


If the issue continues, or you're seeing "Not Charging" follow the steps here: If your Mac battery status is “Not Charging”


You can also check the condition of the battery with these steps: Check the condition of your Mac notebook’s battery



Best!
