MBP 16 - Battery is not charging, despite being connected to power supply and charging indication

I have MBP 16 , suddenly experiencing charging issues. Charger is connected, charging indication comes but still showing battery is not charging. When on power supply , it's stuck to 16 % now and draining constantly. Have tried swapping cable ends, unplugging charger, smc reset & pram reset but neither of them worked. Need urgent help.


Thanks in advance

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14

Reset your SMC and your NVRAM:

Sometimes changes are made to the system and then settings (i.e. for macOS) become manipulated, in the technically. So, reset both on your Mac. See if it now works as intended.
