I find that I wear out the charging port before the battery. I don't even plug it in that much either.
Try cleaning out the USB-C port. Lint gets compacted in there and it can prevent the plug from seating correctly. Most charging problems I’ve had were resolved by scraping the lint out of the port, with a plastic floss pick thing or an unbent staple. Careful not to damage the contacts though.
try a magnetic charger. it may look a bit off leaving the usb-c part plugged into the phone, but there's way less wear or lint
Magnetic USB cables are usually dogshit though. They are not defined in the USB spec, so it's the wild west out there.
Or wireless, I've used both for years
