Allow your MacBook to cool down.
It may come as a surprise, but overheating might be the cause of your MacBook battery not charging. As a safety measure, if the thermal sensors in your laptop detect a significant rise in temperature, they will prevent access to the battery.
What should you do if your MacBook is too hot to handle? Simply switch it off and let it alone for a while, or use a fan to quickly cool off your Mac. If you're working outside, take a break in the shade; intense sunlight might cause your Mac to overheat.
