PSA: Nexus 6P Software Charging Issue

So I think that there might be a possible software charging issue with the 6P. I'm running the latest April 2nd build (MHC19Q). Started back a week ago. I went to charge my phone with the supplied OEM charger, and noticed that it wasn't charging. I then unplugged it, and tried reversing the cable, only to be met with a rapidly blinking charging indicator and still no charge. I tried the USB Type A to Type C adapter that came with the device and an old AC wall adapter and saw that it was charging. I then thought my two month old OEM charger died on me. I was about to order a new one online, until I decided to see if anyone else had this issue. I looked around and found this reddit page. http://ift.tt/1rpruS0

A couple people on the page mentioned rebooting the phone and clearing out the cache. I thought that it couldn't be something so simple. I thought that, surely I had to have reboot my phone at some point over the week, but as I thought about it, I realized I had not. So I powered my phone off, and then back on. Plugged it into the OEM charger and it worked. Didn't even need to clear out the cache. I couldn't believe I didn't think to do the most simple troubleshooting tip.

I never had this issue prior to the April update. I'm wondering if it might be a possible bug in the software that regulates the power coming through the USB Type C to Type C cable, since it didn't happen with the Type A to Type C. Hopefully this post helps for anyone with the same issue.
