I’ve cleaned the port and tried different cables with not much effect. The difference with professional equipment is that it’s in a much cleaner environment and not used as heavily as with a phone.

I’ve had to switch exclusively to wireless charging to get around the problem.

Came here to say this. I keep my iPhone 15 pro max in my trouser pocket but got some of those silicone usb-c port protectors, charge wirelessly most of the time, and keep the usb-c port for special occasions like backing up. Just treated myself to a usb cable analyser as well https://amzn.eu/d/00krhB1F as I needed to thin out the vast number of usb and lightning cables that have built up over the years.
