is anyone facing slow charging after 18.3.1 update?

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18
Update from my last post regarding this issue. I have now tested as much as I could. I found that plugged in to the 35w dual charger with an apple usb c 3.3m cable that the fast charging works like intended. When on MagSafe the seems to be a slower charge rate. Might be heat related and the optimized battery algorithm and or iOS itself on how the code was implemented on 18.3.1. MagSafe and or MagSafe fast charging seems to be the main culprit in my experience. Now that Apple has gotten rid of MagSafe on the new 16e, could be a precursor to the future?
Yup, same here. On my iPhone and Apple Watch Ultra 2. Seems to be slowed compared to before the update. Haven’t found a fix yet. Both devices are being charged with the dual 35 watt charger at separate times and with the fast charge MagSafe cable and Apple Watch Ultra MagSafe.
Am guessing it’s either glitch in the update OR after recent reports of US cyber attacks its a precautionary measure https://www.forbes.com/sites/kateoflahertyuk/2025/02/12/ios-1831-update-now-warning-issued-to-all-iphone-users/
Hopefully It should not be anything to do with chargers (unless they are bending the rules), as per EU directive in December 2024 all fast charging cables should do the job https://commission.europa.eu/news/eu-common-charger-rules-power-all-your-devices-single-charger-2024-12-28_en
This answer is garbage. Our phones and charges worked perfectly fine until we updated to 18.3 as soon as that happened my 45w charger no longer can keep up. I demand that you fix this. I’m not buying another charger when the 45w charger I had bought a month prior kept my phone at 100% while I do Uber all day long. Now it can’t keep up the second I installed 18.3.
This has been driving me bonkers for a month. My battery was changed by at an Apple store a couple of months ago. It worked for a while.
Suddenly my battery drains every few hours, then recharging can take over eight hours! Apple cable with Apple outlet, or my PC, or my car. It is set to optimized charging.
I turn off my phone to charge it while I sleep, in hopes of at least starting the day with a working phone.
Unacceptable. Thank goodness I lead a dull life.
Yes and it wont let me update again because my phone has to be 20%, but it's been stuck at 15% for an hour.
Yes but not working it made me not download my apps
Like this?
Yes like this: the last full charge shownwas on wired charger

Since the latest update on my iPhone and iPad they really struggle to charge. They don’t even recognise they are plugged in half the time. This needs addressing ASAP.
Has anyone gone to 18.3.2? Did that fix things or make it worse?
Same for me, wireless charging does not work even with 18.3.1
