First, check if the charging cable is working properly by testing it with another device. Sometimes the cable is the real culprit!

I had this issue too, and it turned out the little metal connectors inside the charging port on the controller were bent. Carefully straighten them with a small tool.

Make sure the USB port you're using isn't faulty. Try plugging the controller into a different port on your PS4 or another device.

Sometimes dust and debris can get into the port and block the connection. Clean the port gently with compressed air or a soft brush.

Try resetting your PS4 controller. There's a tiny reset button on the back near the L2 button; press it with a paperclip and then re-pair the controller with your PS4.
