I keep my m1 plugged in all the time. Tonight I unplugged to watch a movie. I cannot plug it back in again. It does plug in easily to my iPhone 12, but will no longer plug into MacBook. The charger for the phone will not plug in to the MacBook either. HELP
I’m pretty sure the problem is that you are using the wrong cord.
The iPhone 12s have Lightning ports, not USB-C ones. So if you had a USB-C power brick, you’d use a USB-C to Lightning cable to connect it to your iPhone 12. A Lightning plug is small and flat and reversible, and you can see the connecting circuit traces on it.
To connect the same power brick to your M1 MacBook Air, you would use a USB-C to USB-C cable. USB-C plugs are also small and reversible, but they do not have visible circuit traces on the outside, and they are less flat than the Lightning ones.
it sounds like you were accidentally trying to insert a Lightning plug into a USB-C socket.

USB-C plug on the left. Lightning plug on the right.
You are so right! Thank you for your kindness,
USB-c ports Will not allow me to plug in on MacBook. I don’t want to force it but the battery will die.
