Have you tried another charger or cable? Did the phone come with both a USB-C to USB-C cable and a USB-C to USB-A (the size that fits into computer USB ports) cable?

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

This is strange, imike. I am committed to exploring ways to resolve this issue. When was the last time you were able to charge your phone normally with the original charger?
Is there any physical or water damage to your device?
Is there any damage to your charger?
Is there any damage to any end of the cable that connects your phone to the charger?

We appreciate your efforts on this, imike. We know it's important to have a properly working phone and we want to get to the bottom of this for you. When was the last time you were able to successfully charge? Also, please describe what happens when you try to use the charger. For example, if you wiggle the cable, or hold it at certain angles, does it connect?

Thank you for those additional details, imike. Do you recall any changes just before you started experiencing the charging issue? When looking at the charging port on your phone, can you see anything that may be lodged in the port? You mentioned a factory reset previously. To confirm, you have completed the reset, correct? Did you restore your apps and information immediately after the reset? If so, please place your phone in Safe Mode: https://vz.to/2NOw3no . Are you able to charge while in Safe Mode?

Exact same issue started happening with my Pixel 2 early January 2019. It will not charge using either of my OEM Google chargers. But charges normally (not slow, not very fast) with any of my 3rd party chargers (USB to USB-C). My Google chargers charge my other USB-C devices fine. The Pixel 2's  port is completely clean. It seems only USB-C to USB-C does not work.

Called Google support. Did troubleshooting and eventually safe mode restart (didn't resolve), then reset the phone. Still no luck. Google wants to replace the phone. I'm holding out hoping maybe this will be addressed in a future patch/update.

If anyone has resolved this issue without replacing the phone, please advise.

Thank you!
