M1 MacBook Pro Suddenly not charging

I am using an M1 MacBook Pro base model. I bought it this year in March. It has not even been two months. Today, when my laptop was on 100%, I removed the charger. And put it to sleep. After 20 mins or so, I opened the lid and saw that the battery was on 94%. I plugged it in and it is showing that my laptop is plugged in but not charging. I googled and found out that it happens sometimes because of the Optimised battery charging feature of the macOS. And the laptop can resume charging if I turn that feature off. I did that and my laptop is still not charging.

P.S. I mostly use my MacBook plugged in but drain out the battery two times a week. And when I do, I make sure to plug my laptop back in when the battery reaches 28 or 30%.

I am using macOS Big Sur 11.3.1 (the latest version). Does anyone know why is it happening?

Update on this: Turns out it was a charger problem. When I removed the chord from the power brick and put it directly into the socket, my laptop started charging again. Then put the chord back again in the brick and put it into the socket and it is still charging my laptop now. The chord is from my old's MacBook and it is in good condition.
