iPhone only charges with USB C, doesn't work with old charger

I'm able to charge my iPhone 12 with a USB C charger but when I try using USB A it doesn't work. I've tried multiple brand new USB A chargers, cleaned the charging port, and reset my phone. It's been very frustrating; does anyone have a solution to this?

Nope, my iPhone is up to date, I've cleaned the charging port, and I've restored the phone - no luck. I posted this in September but apple ignores it because they know it's a hardware/software bug on their end. Very frustrating.
