About a week ago I find that for some reason my USB C cable will only charge my phone if I put it in with a specific side facing the screen (normally USB C should work either way but now it only works one way). Yesterday it got worse and needed to be twisted once or twice and if I moved it, it would stop charging. However today it is much harder to get the phone to charge than it was yesterday, I had to twist the cable a good few times and even then it was spotty. Yesterday I checked this charger on my other devices and it charged without any issues, no finagling necessary. Today it no longer works on my other devices (maybe gets the charging icon to appear for a second before going away when I do the twist). I've had this specific charging cable and brick for about 5 months.
I recognize it could have been the twisting that messed it up, I went a little crazy with the twists before my phone would charge, however I am thinking that my phone must have been the reason my previous nice charger broke. That one broke a month or two ago and I never treated it poorly, I only had it for about two years.
I tested a different USB C cable with my phone just now and it has the same problem as a few days ago. It only charges when it's in one specific way, if I reverse it, no dice. This cable works perfectly fine on my other devices.
