Double-check if you're using a compatible USB-C cable and try different ports on your PS5 or even your PC. Sometimes, it's just a faulty cable!

Make sure the USB port on your PS5 isn't clogged with dust—I've had this issue before, and cleaning it out fixed the problem.

Battery might be dead, or there's an issue with the controller itself. Try resetting it using the small button on the back.
