iOS 27 charging issue on iPhone 16 pro

I have an iPhone 16 pro, the battery health is 90%. I recently updated it to iOS 27 a few weeks ago. Since then, I've been facing an issue where the cables sometimes needs to be readjusted or taken out and plugged back in. My phone stopped receiving charge from my cables last night. I've had it cleaned and even so, the cables aren't working. When it does recognise the cable and pull a charge, it keeps flickering and the icon shows an illuminated lightning icon and a grey icon on the battery.

I'm using a wireless charger right now, and the Apple service center isn't able to provide any help.

Would love a solution for my issue.
