13-inch MacBook Pro 2020 will only charge from selective cable / brick
I have a 13" MacBook Pro 2020
MBP 13.3 SPG/8C CPU/8C GPU/8GB/256GB-USA
Product #MYD82LL/A
The MacBook will no longer charge from the stock USB cable and charging brick.
Thinking it might be a bad cable. I tried a different USB-C cable (Thunderbolt 3 Cable 40Gbps Supports 100W) and it worked the first time it was connected and would not work after that.
Thinking the power brick might be bad I tried using my Anker PowerPort II 49.5W USB C Charger with my other cable that had just worked but it still would not charge. Before giving up I tried charging it off of my Oculus Quest cable and power brick and it works every time from this. the other power bricks and cords work fine with other equipment but the MacBook will no longer charge from them.
Does anyone know why it is being so selective? I have tried to go back to the stock brick and cord multiple times and my other brick and cord multiple times and it will not charge from them. I'm worried that it's going to stop charging from the Oculus brick and cord at some point.
Is this a good question?

Did you try the other port? Sometimes one port gets worn and/or the ports logic gets damaged.

Thanks Dan, yes I did try both ports. they both work with the Oculus charger and neither works with the other bricks.
