That doesn’t actually mean “charging”, just “plugged in”. Which 99% times means the same. But it could mean you are getting very low power. This could be from the wire or the charger.

This is common on iPads pro, when working hard and plugged in using not optimal charger.

Also, it happens with any device connected to a low power USB from a computer.

What charger are you using? Have your device been in contact with water prior to the charge?

Fair point, I did equate plugged in to charging.

Thing is - I am using the Apple USB C charger with an an Apple C to Lightning cable.

Once the phone shut down, I plugged it in without starting it up first - obviously it started up once battery was sufficient and it seems the issue has gone away.

No to water contact, phone is barely a month old and I’ve babied it.

I’m suspecting a software bug of some sort, but not sure.

If it’s not charging it’s probably not software, I’m afraid. Does the device get very hot?

The battery may be defective. Talk directly to Apple support.

Edit: I see it charged properly just a few hours prior. Is that right?

Correct.

As soon as I power down the device, and let the charger wake the phone - it charges properly.

I’ve had this happen intermittently once or twice before.

Edit: No it doesn’t get hot during charging, sometimes after extended use while doing intensive processes it gets warm.
