There's a macrumors thread on this as reported by tons of people after the last update (12.4). I am also affected by this bug. Basically if it goes into the red zone, you plug it in, it charges to 100%, then you use it as normal, the battery drains, and you go to plug it back in and it doesn't charge. In order to get it to charge you have to reboot your box - this is bad because then I lose all my workflow, where I was at etc. This is on Silicon chip MBP's and more recent models (mine is 14" 2021).


Also note, I used the USB-C Apple charger (from my 13" 2019 MBP Silicon) to charge the laptop downstairs, while I use the magnetic charger upstairs. The magnetic charger doesn't work either until a reboot.

Hope this helps a little. Not much we can do but wait until apple fixes their code with a patch.
