I'm already doubting the long-term durability of my Pixel 8 Pro

Pixel 8, 8 Pro, Pixel 7a, and Nothing Phone (2).

It started in the last week of December; I took my Pixel 8 Pro off the charger one morning only to see that the battery was still at 18%. I figured it might just be a case of not plugging in the cable correctly, but even as I did so, I realized the phone wasn't charging. I tried with a different USB-C cable — the one that came in the box — but still nothing. I thought it was the charger at fault, so I went into the home office and plugged the Pixel 8 Pro into the Nexode 200W, which is what I use to charge most of my devices — again, it didn't make a difference.
