Why is my iPhone 16 not charging when plugged in?

Last night I had it plugged in for an hour and a half to see if it would charge since it’s been happening for close to a month now. I had the screen off the whole time, and somehow the battery went down 12%. When it’s not plugged in it won’t go down any over the same period, so something’s wrong with it charging. Any ideas on how to fix it?
