How to fix inconsistent USB-C charging on 2019 MacBook Air?

The USB-C ports on my 2019 MacBook Air have stopped working consistently. I tried switching chords & charger. No change. Even when those cords work on my iPhone 17 Pro. When I try a SMC Reset, that works for a while & then they stop working again. Any suggestions/recommendations?

If you have rebooted, and given the SMC reset, contact Apple Support, as it is quite possible your MacBook Air has a hardware problem with the ports or with charging, or the battery has worn.
