Magic Keyboard usb c charging port will not charge iPad Pro. The charger works fine when connected to the iPad’s usb c port. I’ve been using the Magic Keyboard usb c for charger for some time but it just quick working. Any ideas?

Remove the iPad from Magic Keyboard for iPad - and carefully/gently clean the smart connector contacts on both the iPad and keyboard with a soft pencil eraser. Ensure that the contacts are dirt and dust free before reconnecting the two.

Should the problem with charging the iPad from the USB-C spine-connector of the keyboard persist, you would be best advised to visit the visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad and Magic Keyboard:
