I am facing troubles with charging booting my pixel 8a.
yesterday my phone suddenly didn't react on plugging in the charger, tried different chargers, nothing worked. tried cleaning the usb-c port, no changes.
then i initiated forced restart through pressing power and volume up buttons for 10 sec and then the power button - and yay - normal start up process was initiated - and my phone was charged by 46%. unfortunately it quit it's services after 10 sec again and turned black. without the usual 'phone is shutting down' notification. also, it wasn't possible to restart through the power button again, only in connection with the forced restart combo.
all in all very odd situation and seems pretty much like a software issue to me.
