I hear a lot of people saying to clean the port and I agree. I've found with usb c it's often very difficult to find something thin enough, but I've found a staple to be surprisingly good at the job
Sewing pin
The little pin that comes with phones to open the sim tray works well.
The sharp end of a safety pin did it for me
I use a disposable dental floss pick. The toothpick side is very narrow and no concern scratching too hard down in a port since it is plastic.
Dry air can does the job pretty well too.
This is the one thing that sucks about Apple going USB-C. Lightning is easier to clean for me and my pockets are a lint factory apparently.
I have never been an apple user, but that lightning port always seemed like a good design. Seems way more durable than usb-c
Yeah, it's surprising how much pocket fluff gets in there. If it no longer clicks into place, chances are it needs a good clean.
I've started to train myself to put my phone in my pocket "upside down" with the charging port up. It collects much less pocket lint, but now I drop it more when I take it out and flip it around. I'm hoping that I get better at this soon.
