Start with a forced restart.

If that doesn’t resolve the issue look at your battery health. If below 80% it’s time to start thinking about replacing your battery.


It’s possible it’s related to the wall charger, charging cable and even the wall outlet. Experiment with different components until you isolate the issue.
