I just noticed that my trackpad and keyboard do not indicate they are charging with the lightning bolt when I have the charging cable connected, like it use to. I'm on Ventura 13.4 and I think this has been the case for a while.
Any ideas?

Where are you looking for the charging info?
In the menu bar you get this:
In the System/BlueTooth setting pane you get this:
If you're not seeing this in either of these two location do the following: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.
NOTE 1: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following;
• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)
• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
• Disables user-installed fonts
• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
NOTE 2: if you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries connect it with its charging cable before booting into Safe Mode. This makes it act as a wired keyboard as will insure a successful boot into Safe Mode.

Well, both in the menu bar and in BT settings it shows the battery level, but no charging indication that it is in fact charging, unless I check back in a couple minute or so.
Please do as instructed, restart the computer in Safe Mode and then restart normally.
