Qi wireless charging and MagSafe wireless charging does generate more heat and that can slow charging, but it should not stop charging.


Which might mean a problem either with the charger, or with the iPhone.


What is the battery health reported on the iPhone? 80% or lower?


If there is a protective case here, remove that case and test again.
