Check the microUSB port to make sure there is no debris in there--use a can of compressed air to blow it out, or a damp toothpick to root around.

It's also possible you original cable and/or charger is faulty. See if you can borrow someone else's.

It's also possible that the microUSB port itself is problematic--if the above suggestions don't work, then this might be the problem.

Are you also using the original charging cable? I've found that some 3rd party cables are not capable of handling the higher throughput

I had the same issue a few weeks ago and it fixed itself. Or maybe I blew on the charging port to clear any dirt from it, can't remember

Exact same problem here - I would unplug and re-plug, and that would fix it. But now I can't get it to recognize the charger no matter what. All original equipment.

Mine has started saying: "You're using the original charger, please re-connect to charge faster." I unplug it and replug it, and it says "charging" but it's been doing a horrible job lately.

It's a fairly new ZTE phone, with a C-plug. I contacted support, to see if my other charger would work, and they wanted all kinds of info. They also kept saying "use authorized ZTE equipment only."

So I ask for details on getting one, and they say they don't carry one like that. Then my phone started giving me that original charger message, and stopped holding a charge for very long. Coincidence? Maybe..

Fast chargers, as has been noted, are notoriously fragile. I second the suggestion that you use a proven fast charger and see if you get the same message.
