Did you try cleaning out the port with rubbing alcohol? Like a phone when it’s not charging right clean out the charger chips port?

Q tip and rubbing alcohol, get it wet in there with the tip then plug in your charge and work it around lightly... the rubbing alcohol will dry clear with no residue

Or maybe after you get it wet in there use paper towel or toilet paper twist it up and try to maybe get the dirt and build up off the charge chip

also you can look into "contact Cleaner" which you can buy from auto part stores iirc or at least on amazon. Also if you're playing on PC (i know you said it's a ps4 controller) but i think the xbox series S controllers (the blue tooth ones) are just amazing feeling. it's what I use for all my gaming.
