iphone water message

I have an IP14, and am using a charger I got from sams club.
I always thought there was an issue with the charging port, because when connected and I move around, it always makes that "ding" like when you first connect it.
Today, I tried to charge it as usual. A water damage message came up, and said it would not allow the phone to charge.
I tried to clean the charger, and the port, still happens.
I shut the phone off, and tried to charge it, that worked fine. The phone turned on while connected to the charger, and no message.

I did not drop the phone in any water.

thoughts?

So did you get the phone new or used, I personally wireless charge whenever I can as i find all phone ports a bit of a pain. I would live to find a case with a port extender even adding a quarter inch to the case would be worth, the cost.

I have had the phone since new. It has always been in a cover. The cover does not have a plug to cover the charging port.
