Android phone charging problems

My phone has been on charge, plugged into the charger for the last 2 and half hours so it should by now be nearly at full charge, but I've just been in the kitchen to check, and there is no charge at all on the thing. This has happened earlier this week as well.

Has my phone gone up the shoot? I've only had it just over 2 years, it's a Motorola Nexus 6P Google phone.

Please do not just tell me to Google the problem, I need practical real time help here.
 
Have you checked you charger? The last time I had that problem, it turned out to be the charger. They are easy to check with a meter. If you do not have one, try a different charger.
 
Typical cheaper/smaller gauge USB charging cables can fail as well, slowing down charging times as well as failing to charge at all.

Not only in checking the pins both USB ports of the charger, but also to consider the charging cable itself. Most consumers are unaware of how fragile the average 28/28 gauge USB cable can be. Even when a manufacturer supplies the originals.

Preferable to use a more robust gauge cable like a 28/24. (The lower the gauge, the thicker the cable.)

I might be getting a new phone soon anyway, my research on Google and YouTube tells that the Moto G7 comes out in September, nice phone for not too bad price if I can get at least £100 trade in on my Nexus 6, that's best route, bunging the thing on eBay would be messy and expensive in seller fees and postage.
