iPhone SE 2020 no longer charging with Qi wireless

My iPhone SE 2020 has always worked well with wireless charging, but it has suddenly stopped. It still works with the wired charging cable, but I'd like to use the Qi charger. I have been through the usual troubleshooting steps to no avail. Any suggestions?

iPhone SE, iOS 17

Wireless qi charger only works on second attempt (not the first time it touches the charger) My iPhone 13 pro max will charge wirelessly but not the first time I put it on any Qi charger. I have to put it on the charger and then pick it up and put it down again within 2 seconds for it to start charging. If it’s off the charger for more than 3 seconds, it won’t work (you have to start over). This happens every time without fail on every single wireless charger I’ve tried (various brands and models). For example, when I turn off my car, the aux power plug cuts power to the charger. But when I turn power back on, I have to pick up my phone from the charger and quickly set it back down again to restart the charging. Running iOS 15.5 on 3-month old iPhone 13 pro max.

Wireless Charging Not Working After iOS update My household has had problems with wireless charging since updating our phones to iOS 16.4.1 I was using a iPhone 14 on one charger and it was working up until the update ran. Once updated, it showed “charging” but no charge was actually filling the battery. Wife’s phone would charge. We upgraded to 14 Pro Max and had software updates to the same iOS. Wireless charging still not working yet wired charging does work. Have tried the hard rest (up/down/hold side button) and didn’t work. Suggestions or know when a software fix is coming?

Did any of the troubleshooting steps you tried, include a Forced Restart?

My sweetie and I both have iPhone SE 2020s, and the Qi charging has failed on both this year. Mine in April, and hers in late July. Trying to decide between buying a new iPhone SE 2022 now or getting a bigger phone than I want next month.
