I plug my phone in and sometimes it will charge and make it to 60% before it seems like it stops charging. Other times it won’t go above 1%. If it does seem to charge correctly the battery doesn’t last 1/2 as long as it used to. This is on a 14 Pro Max that is brand new.

"Battery barely charges after iOS 18.3 update: I plug my phone in and sometimes it will charge and make it to 60% before it seems like it stops charging. Other times it won’t go above 1%.

Troubleshooting Charging Issues After an Update:
A. Update your iPhone:
Not sure if it will fix this, but update to iOS18.3.1. It's worth a go --and you should back up your iPhone to a computer prior to installing an update, whatsoever. That way, you will have something to restore your iPhone from, should anything go wrong afterwards.
B. Report this to Apple:
Do your Part: Provide Apple with feedback on this, letting them know about this issue. Apple may not get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive on this, the more they will know what is occurring, and what bug fixes to include in updates to come. Apple will know nothing of this, if you don't report it to them.

II. View the Battery Health:
Apple recommends you get a new battery, once the Battery Health reaches 80% or lower. When the Battery Health is 80% or lower, it is time for a new battery.
III. Perform a Restart:
Try Force Restarting your iPhone. Save any information that need be. Then perform the restart.

IV. A Few Apple Support Sites that May Help:
“Same. I can't even update it again because it has to be at 20% and it's been stuck at 15% for an hour. I have a 15 Pro Max.”

This seems to be caching on.
Question is: “Just how many people have actually reported this to Apple?”
So, Report this to Apple:
Do your Part: Provide Apple with feedback on this, letting them know about this issue. Apple may not get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive on this, the more they will know what is occurring, and what bug fixes to include in updates to come. Apple will know nothing of this, if you don't report it to them.
“Same here. It will charge sometimes, and sometimes it won’t. I have tried multiple cords, and chargers.”
