MacBook Air battery stuck at 58% for 12 hours

My MacBook Air was at 58% and I plug to charge. Didn't noticed a lighten symbol. Not sure it's supposed to. The charger attachment is still blinking in orange when I got home 12 hours later. Not fell to 56% after I started typing.

What should be my battery charging options to make it work?

If your MagSafe cable or power adapter isn't working - Apple Support


If the indicator light flashes:

If your battery is charging or charging is on hold, the indicator light glows amber. If the indicator light on the MagSafe 3 connector flashes amber repeatedly, try these steps:

  1. Disconnect the USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable from your Mac and from the power adapter.
  2. Disconnect the USB-C power adapter from the wall outlet.
  3. Use a dry cloth to wipe the MagSafe 3 port and MagSafe 3 connector. Make sure both the port and connector are dry and clear of any debris.
  4. Make sure the USB-C port on the power adapter and the USB-C connector are clear of any debris.
  5. Restart your Mac.
  6. Connect the USB-C power adapter to the wall outlet, connect the USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable to the power adapter and to your Mac, then try charging again.

If the indicator light continues to flash repeatedly, contact Apple.

Thank you for your respond. I tried all those suggestions. Today is my second time. The first was due to McAfee app installing for no reason. Killed the installation and uninstalled my McAfee. Restart didn't work. So I shut it down and left the connector flashes amber alone. Came back later it was fully charged.

This morning same situation happened at around 47% with connector flashes amber repeatedly. No lightening charging symbol. Still the same when I came home in the evening. Restart didn't work. Shutdown and when to the gym. 1 hour later the connector turned solid amber with the lightning symbol across an empty battery symbol. When I click on the empty battery symbol, it got refreshed with 98% charged. The solid amber just turned green on the connector, now with a 100% battery and lightening symbol. I still feel something is wrong. All battery stats indicates that battery is ok.
