Yeah my phone is in this stage, so I mostly charge it wirelessly now.
If your port is clean and the cable isn't messed up, maybe consider replacing the charging port or just get a wireless charger.
I just bring it to a phone repair place, and they spend about five minutes in the back cleaning it for free.
Used to deal with this a lot on my old phone (micro usb) cleaning the port out helped a lot, but it is hard if you don't have something thin enough to fit in, personally I used ESD tweezers I have on hand for electronics work, but even then I started having to do it once a week to get my phone to charge.
Get some needle-nosed tweezers or something very thin and use it to dig out the obscene amount of pocket lint that compacts itself down in there. Keep trying even if nothing comes out at first. This works for me every time.
I've found that a plastic toothpick is the perfect tool for this. It is a soft enough material not to scratch the phone but it digs out the lint. A normal wood toothpick also works, but the plastic ones tend to be thinner making them easier to scrape with.
If the phone is still having issues after that or looks visibly inside, some contact cleaner applied and scrubbed with a pipe cleaner will remove gunk.
Meanwhile my phone lowers the volume by itself an I'm thinking how to fix it. I assume it's because of dust or something. Annoying ah with this random popping out and lowering volume when I want sound.
