Hi,

If your MacBook Pro has intel processor, resetting SMC could solve the issue.

If it doesn't help, try to check your MacBook Pro with Apple Diagnostics if it reports battery or charger related error.

The 16-inch MacBook Pro M1 would not charge when powered off and the lid was closed with macOS 12.0.1. It would charge when powered up and the lid open. Updating to macOS 12.1 resolved the powered-off, lid-closed charging issue.
