i4 Not charging, lights and clicks then error

Hi folks. Starting this afternoon my i4 has decided not to charge. I get an error the charger clicks, there are numerous clicks that come from the back of the car but it's not charging on my L2 at home.

When I open the charge port the light is white, I plug in and it turns blue for about half a second then flashes orange. The car tries to reinitialize the charge state several times basically repeating this loop.

I'm going to assume it's a problem with my wall charger but I don't know that for sure? Any help would be appreciated.

Flip the breaker off. Count to 10. Flip the breaker on.
Try another charger.
Double check all your software settings to make sure it's not a delayed charge.
Take a flashlight and look into the charger and plug to see if there's any debris.
Lower the charge limit on the car to 16A and see if the problem continues.

Already tried the breaker. Didn’t see any debris in charger or car. Have tried charging immediately and within a time slot. Got the car out drove it a few minutes and tried again to no avail.
I’ll try a DC fast charger tonight.

Have not lowered the charge limit will try that.

If you can try another car on the same charger and receptacle/breaker that would help eliminate any source outside the vehicle.

In other places of discussion this issue was raised, and it ended up requiring a dealership visit to update the software to the latest version. Or the CCU is bad and needs to be replaced.

Either way it doesn’t seem like any of the diy based resets worked.
