Why isn't my 2020 Macbook Pro isn't charging?

I have been trying to charge my Macbook all morning and each time it hasn't been successful. I have tried plugging it in both ports, changing the wall it is plugged into and clearing out the ports with pressurized air. All of which have not worked. I have had a battery replacement in the past and unsure if that may have any bearing on it.

Why isn’t my macbook air (2020) charging correctly. My macbook air has difficulty charging, I’ll have to insert the charger over and over again and it’ll still shift between charging and not charging if I even move or touch it. The battery life is at 98% and nothing in either port seems to bending. Could it be debris? if it’s something truly wrong with the port how much would it be to fix I really need this laptop.

How long has it been since the battery was replaced?

Was this an official Apple repair, or is it a third party battery?

Here is an Apple article for troubleshooting USB-C charging issues:

FYI, the SMC Reset suggested by @D.I. Johnson only applies to an Intel Mac. In 2020, Apple made both an Intel & M-series Mac.
