One issue with USB-C is that dust gets packed into the female side. I've found it can be in there so tight that even after attempting to clean it, the dust remains. But going in with a sewing needle, rubbing alcohol, and really scraping you can fix the port.

Yes! Every time my phone's had a problem charging, the issue has been cleared by doing exactly this.

I wouldn't do this on phones. Alcohol and the needle are conductive materials.
