iPad cable not charging reliably

I’m sure this question and related ones have been asked a million times here. I have a similar problem with unreliable charging of my iPad. It’s pretty new, and so is the charger cable. In fact I have changed them frequently to see if it would help. Not much! It will be apparently charging then suddenly say “Not charging.” I’ve seen videos about sticking a piece of tape inside the port and I’m tempted to try it. But is that really safe?

iPad Pro 10.5-inch, Wi-Fi

Start reading this support article:--> If your iPad won't charge - Apple Support

If the issue persists, since your device is new, contact Apple Support directly, using this link:--> Get Support , or make an appointment and have your device inspected at an Apple Store or AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) among this list:--> Apple – Location Selector. After checking it out, they'll give you all the available options.
