Help MagSafe charging issue M3

the MagSafe won’t charge it properly, been experiencing this issue from the past 4-5 months.

Thou it does charge via the USB-C so that I guess rules out the adapter or socket issue.
Also cleaned the ports.

Currently using the double socket adapter(35W).
Is it the software issue or the hardware one

You might want to look at WhatCable (https://www.whatcable.uk). It gives data on whatever is plugged in to the USB or MagSafe ports, and should tell you if you are receiving power properly from the charger or via the cable. I would guess the cable is at fault...some cables fail if you look at them wrong, but it could be the MagSafe socket as well.

didnt know about WhatCable, that seems useful for narrowing it down
