yes - and they look at me like I am crazy - as if I have fun booking geniuses bar appointments and drive hrs away just to visit an Apple store 😡.....I even brought pictures with me showing time lapse of how charger was plugged in and battery drained instead of charging showing “not charging” msg....they said it works in their store so pics don’t count

That's ridiculous because pictures don't lie. I always do this. And they always treat them with the utmost respect.

My 13" has been working fine after not working for about 2 months. It's been working no problem. I don't know what happened. In my case, I just plugged in the 16" power adapter and it started working again. Now, it works with the original power adapters and such.
 
It may have something to do with the controller ICs. Check ISL9239 (U7000 on boardview).
