iPhone 16 Pro intermittent charging issue

Hi everyone!

Recently my iPhone 16 Pro started not detecting the charging cable when I plug it in. After 8-10 attempts it starts charging but it still says it is charging but when I take it off the charger in the morning it is discharged and the phone still says it is charging. In the battery settings, the “last charge” page also shows that it was plugged in to the charger and it was still discharged until morning. It is a very annoying phenomenon because if I unplug it and plug it back in in the morning it charges normally. All accessories are factory, ios18.2, I have tried with several cables. The phone has already “blocked” a factory cable and it no longer works with my phone. Please don’t come with the “restart” and “tried a different cable” template because I have tried everything, I am here because I have no other idea. It is still under factory warranty but I can’t part with my phone because of my work. I've never dropped it, I've taken great care of it, the phone is only a few months old.

sorry a misstyped the modell, i have an iPhone 15 Pro.

The iPhone 15 Pro uses a USB-C connector. The cable I have is the fabric-covered USB-C to USB-C cable that came with the phone. Since it’s an original accessory included in the box, it must be an authentic Apple product. However, it doesn’t work. I don’t know how to search for it because there’s no serial number or code on it, and I’m not sure how the link you sent could help with this issue. Currently, I’m charging my phone with a third-party cable, which only charges it occasionally.
