Level 2 Charging Not Working Again

My Canadian Honda Clarity stopped charging agian. This time, specifically with my home's level 2 ChargePoint charger. The car detects that the charger is plugged in but no electricity is flowing into the battery. However, I can charge it fine with the OEM Honda level 1 charger. Any ideas on what may be wrong? I still have warranty but the last time I took it in for warranty, the dealer kept my car for a week.

I don't know if it's related but I washed the car at a coin car wash yesterday and then tried using a broken public charger. Then when I got home last night, it charged fine overnight using my level 2 charger. It's only tonight that it suddenly decided to stop charging with my level 2 charger.

I replaced the 12V battery 2 years ago so it shouldn't be dying this quickly.

Is there another Level 2 charger nearby you can try?
 
Doubling down on @insightman comment, I'd first suspect the Chargepoint EVSE is the culprit. I have had a lot of issues with public Chargepoint EVSEs. If the car is charging on Level 1 and you don't have any codes showing, then that's my bet. Could be something as simple as a problem with the handle plugging into the car. I had to change out one on my EVSE when it started being flaky and shutting off during charging from losing a connection. (Easier to change it out than to troubleshoot it, and I had an extra one lying around.)
