"Battery not charging" on MacBook Pro I have the infamous "battery not charging" problem on my 2014 Retina MacBook Pro. The power source shows as "Power source: power adapter".

I checked system info and I have 1100+ cycles, which I guess is a lot. So my guess is that the battery is dead, and so it stopped charging. 

Right now, the battery percentage shows 6% and seems to be staying that way. It is not increasing at all.

What worries me is every time I reboot, the battery seems to drain a bit, meaning that after sufficient reboots the battery will eventually reach 0% (as my MacBook isn't charging), and at that point I won't be able to boot up again at all.

Should I set all my energy settings to "never sleep", "never turn off", etc. to prevent any rebooting, so that the battery does not drain any further?

What can I do short of buying a new computer? I don't think there is Apple service where I am for the next few weeks. I would buy a new charger, but it appears that the charger is not the problem (or at least there is a good chance it isn't).

Coconut Battery status:
8440 mAh, Full charge capacity 6973 mAh (guess that means my battery is 82% healthy?), Cycle count: 1177, macOS battery status: good.
I found the answer to my charging problem in another question:

Please make sure to upvote the answer I linked.

Short version: yank the cord forcefully and horizontally out of the notebook. Repeat it a couple of times, until the orange light starts and it starts charging. Visit the link for more information.

For reference, this is what my pins look like after the yanking (sorry, don't have a before foto):



The second pin from the right maybe looks kind of intended still, it could be the ground pin, but I don't actually know.
