USB C charging is intermittent. Sometimes the BG-E22 charging light will come on; other times it will not. Usually not. I have two LP-E6N batteries in the BG-E22.

I have taken the batteries out and in. Removed BG-E22 from EOS R and put back (as unlikely as this would seem to be the issue).

I do also see that the batteries seem to "leak" some charge even though camera is off.

any thoughts?

From my experience it is a crappy USB-C plug on the battery grip.  It's loose and sometimes charges, sometimes doesn't.  I now have to check to see if it's charged or take the batteries out and do them separately.  Really wish the battery grips would uniformly use the battery from the 1DXii, but oh well.

I took my R to a basketball game the other day because I love the 28-70 under the basket, and found the battery was only 10% because it had not charged.  Frustrating.  This is the only part of my R where it feels cheap.
