MacBook Pro not charging.

Keep in mind that recent Apple laptops now have a new Battery Health Management system with Optimized Charging. With Optimized Charging enabled, macOS will exercise the battery while connected to the power adapter. This means that macOS may only charge the battery to 80% and leave it there for a while. Even when the battery is at 100% charge, macOS may drain the battery down to 80% level. Optimized Charging is meant to help prolong the life of the battery especially when connected to the power adapter for extended periods.

I have a 2022 MacBook Pro. Bought it new. It has intermittently not been charging. I took it to the Apple Store a few months ago and everything tested fine, battery and charging power supply. It was good for a while but started again last week. It’s driving me crazy. It’ll drain down while being plugged in and then recharge when it’s plugged in and turned off. I’m at a loss. The Apple Store is downtown and a major PIA for me and time suckage. Anyone know about this? I’ve read 100s of threads but no answer. Any help appriciated. Thanks.

You do not say what exact mac...(?) 2022 so can assume it is a M1/M2 ?

SafeBoot Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support will sort many anomalies

Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled.

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.

This test will tell you if third party interference; most* extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.

You can easily reinstall the macOS on top of your existing macOS to sort issues

Got this problem too😂. With the latest MacBook Pro 14”(M2 Pro). It happened 2 months after I bought it (the same time as you) (It's a never-ending cycle in which the laptop's LED indicator initially flashes green, then the charging stops and the indicator flashes yellow, right?) So I can just charge it in the sleep mode.

It seems that the only solution now is to power up it, reconnect the adapter, then shut it down. It'll normally charge after doing these. It can't be a good way, but the best method yet.

Above all I advise charging it by restarting your Mac after you don't use it, waiting for Apple's solution like a Recall Program 😅.
