iPhone 12 Pro weird charging behaviour

Hello,

since about a month my iPhone 12 Pro has a very weird charging behaviour, when I charge my phone overnight with the MagSafe wireless charger. Sometimes it didn't charge at all. One time it charged, stopped charging, charged, stopped charging in a 5 seconds interval the whole night, cause I didn't noticed it. The last night I charged my phone at about 9:30 p.m. and it charged until 11:40 p.m. when it stopped charging past 74%. At 2:20 a.m. it then disconnected from power even it was the whole night on the MagSafe charger without power outage. Does anyone have a idea if it's my phone or if it's the MagSafe charger? Maximum Battery Capacity at 88%, i don't think that this behaviour is normal even if I have Optimised Battery Charging On.

Kind Regards,

Thomas

If you had said 80% I would have suggested turning off Optimised Charging.

I would try it:-

Without a case for one night then
Using a genuine Lightning cable for one night

and see how the behavior changes.

If you get similar behaviour on either or both then arrange to have the phone looked at.

Hello, thank you for your reply. I did not use a case while charging this night, so thats not the reason for the problem. But I will try it charging my phone with a lightning cable to see if the problem still occurs.
