iPhone charging slowly and taking longer than expected

My phone is charging slowly in the past 48 hours. My phone is currently at 60% and says it will take an 1 hour to get to 80%. It used to take a more reasonable amount of time. I tried a new charging cord and various outlets. My phone is only 3 months old. 17e.


I don't mind slow charging over night but its super frustrating duirng the day. How can I fix this?

What wattage charging cube are you using? For your phone to charge fastest, you need to be using at least a 20w charging cube. See if anything helps here --> Fast charge your iPhone - Apple Support
