Hi folks
I’m having troubles with my new MacBook Pro, not charging after first login.
Apple Support tested and changed the AC adapter but the problem happened again
Tried resetting and creating a new admin user, any suggest?
I think I‘m sending it back ☹️

 
Try clean installing. It seems weird. But I've heard a similar issue with MagSafe charging basically cycling turning on and off with the sound when power off. And clean installing it fixes it. It's prob because if you clean install. Using disk utility way I assume, it would remove all the things. Touchid data, nvram data, and system OS . So yeah it might fix it if it's just a bug
 
If you have a high quality USB-C to USB-C cable at home, try charging with that as you can still charge via thunderbolt.

See what happens.

I also just realized it is stuck at 90%

My Macbook Pro Intel also does this sometimes, it is a way to prolong battery life, added first time in Catalina or Big Sur IIRC, let it dip below 80% and then try again.
