What it means

The phone sensed moisture in the port and paused charging to protect itself.

What to do

Unplug, tap the phone gently with the port facing down, and let it air dry. Try charging again after at least 30 minutes.

Emergency override

iOS may offer an override to charge anyway; only use it in a genuine emergency.
