About "USB accessories disabled"

Today I get a prompt when I plug in my USB devices that said: "USB accessories disabled" "Unplug the accessory using too much power to re-enable USB devices."

But the thing is that all of my USB devices are still usable when I got that prompt, another thing is that this is the first time I ever get that prompt even though I had used a couple more USB devices back then but the prompt did not show up.

I don't know, should I be worry?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.0

Hello HauNguyenOfficial,


Please check out the information in the following link, which explains why you may receive a "USB Devices Disabled" error on your Mac, and what to do to help resolve the error: If you see USB Devices Disabled on your Mac


If you see USB Devices Disabled on your Mac

Drives, cameras, keyboards, hubs, and other devices that plug into the ports on your Mac can request a limited amount of power.

If an external device isn’t recognized by your Mac and a message says that the device needs more power, the operation can't be completed, or USB Devices Disabled, try these steps:

• Disconnect and reconnect the external device to your Mac.
• Connect your external device to a different port on your Mac.
• If your external device is connected to a USB or Thunderbolt hub, connect your device directly to your Mac. 
• If your USB or Thunderbolt hub is self-powered, make sure that it’s connected to an AC adapter. 

If you still need help, contact Apple Support.


Thanks!
