If you haven’t already tried, try repositioning your iPhone. The reason I say that is because I had a wireless charging base a while back (Samsung, I think) and during charging, my iPhone would slide off center and stop charging. I ended up giving the charging base away.

Yes! It’s a Samsung! He gave it to me when I upgraded from my 6 to an XR! It’s been doing fine but here lately. He told me the same thing. I’ll keep trying then. I’m about over it myself!

I have two Belkin wireless charger and positioning is key (no pun intended)! Have you tried moving it to another location? That might help!

I have the Samsung wireless charger, a RAV, and another one I bought on Amazon. I have had issues with all of them turning off. But when I grab my phone it is hot to the touch. I think the chipset in apples hardware turns off the charging until the iPhone cools off. It doesn’t happen all the time but it happens enough for me to notice. I do use  wall chargers for all the wireless charging pads. So I don’t know what it could be. And yes they are all fast chargers.

P.S. try using it without the case to keep it cool. See what happens.

Your battery is completely discharged. Does wired “wireless” charging still work when the device is completely discharged ? Try charginging it to 20% or so with a lightning cable and then switch charging methods.

You should also try plugging the wire on you wireless charger into a different charger or ac outlet.

With a 'more vertically oriented' charger ( like my Anker) the positioning issue mostly goes away as the phone has to be really 'off centre' before charging is affected
