Methods and sites I've used to solve this...

Troubleshooting Mac Charge:

Refer to the following....

A. Reset the SMC and your NVRAM:

(Applies yo Intel-Based Macs Only) Sometimes when changes are made to the system(i.e. Updates), system configurations (i.e. for Power) become manipulated, technically. So, reset the SMC and NVRAM. Try performing each thrice. It may take sometime, being certain you have the time to perform these resets.

B. Try a New Charger:

• Power & Cables - Mac Accessories - Apple - Select "Mac Compatibility" on the left
• Find the Right Power Adapter and Cable for your Mac Notebook - Apple Support

C. A Few Links to Refer to for Power:

• If your Mac doesn't Turn On - Apple Support

• About Mac Notebook Batteries - Apple Support

• How to Turn your Mac On or Off - Apple Support

• If your Mac Battery won't Charge - Apple Support

• Charge the MacBook Pro Battery - Apple Support

Try and charge it for a prolonged period of time to see if the issues persist. If you get the battery icon your mac might need prolonged charging

Try to clean the charging port.
