  Check for pocket lint or other debris in the socket. This exact thing was happening to me, a minute with a toothpick fixed it.

    Will check, but it's unlikely since both the phone and cable only ever sit on this desk. It's a pure debugging device.

      Hot glue it in place? It's going to provide enough strength to keep the things attached, but still will be easy to remove if needed.

  I think USB-C is designed to have the connector on the cable fail first, so maybe you can try to replace the cable?

    My testing phones (that sit on the table like the OPs) eat cables like popcorn. I never buy less than 3 cables at a time.

    Maybe it's the too-stiff cables. As devices have become smaller, lower mass, our cable rigidity, thinness has not scaled proportionally.

  I'm burning through something like 10-20 usbc cords a year. It's outrageous. I'm buying Ankers and "good" brands too. My car has ubsc to usbc and android auto and it used to be a pain (usba to usbc slowed it down) so I'm diligent about fast/good cables. I have no working usbc-usbc cables right now. It's wild how quickly mine go bad and most of the time they're just plugged into a phone once a day (driving), if that. I just have a drawer full of dead cables with some sort of usbc end..

    You may be able to get the Anker cables replaced for free, some have a lifetime guarantee.
