I misread the SMC reset directions. Make sure you press all of these keys for 10 seconds when MacBook Pro is shutdown

Shift - Control - Option - AND Power button ;). Battery is charging with 16.48 watts

I have the same battery detailed above. Did the same key sequence for SMC reset and still the same issue. Went recently to a Apple Genius Bar for a full diagnostics and the result was an issue with the battery. Before the issue happened I just charged the battery a couple of times (right now has cycle count = 7 and battery status = good)
