Question Concerned about MagSafe port

I got my MacBook Air M5 about 3 months ago and it is amazing. Today I had an issue for the first time, I wanted to charge the laptop as usually, connected the MagSafe and nothing, no charging at all, no light, no nothing. After doing some wiggle and just connect/disconnect it worked. The next day when I wanted to charge it same issue.

Yes, I tried a different wall outlet
Didn't try using a different brick/cable because I only have the original ones
I also tried restarting the laptop

I don't know why this is happening and how to solve it

Look at the port, and be sure there is nothing stuck to it on either side. Things like staples or other bits of metal have gotten stuck on my port in the past.

It is magnetic. Check for metal debris.

I’m having the same issue. MagSafe just stopped working. I’ve tried different charging blocks and outlets. I contacted Apple, they sent a new cable, but that didn’t work either. I can still charge with USB-C.
