If your Pixel won't charge with a USB-C, first, ensure your charging cable and adapter are in good condition and compatible with your device. Dust or debris in the charging port may also prevent a good connection, so carefully clean the port with a small, non-metallic tool. If these steps don't resolve the issue, try a different charger to rule out the possibility of a faulty charger. If problems persist, it may be a hardware issue with the phone itself, requiring professional assessment.
