I just bought this phone today and it is taking forever to charge. I let it charfing sicen 11:45 pm and it is now 5:11 am and the battery percent is only 67%.

Do I need to carry back this phone to the store for a replacement?

Also I noticed that when you unplug this phone from charging the phone takes a few seconds to recognize that it has been removed from a charging source as the lightning icon is still showing and the red notifications stays solid for about 6 seconds.

Update to the problem...

Well I restarted the phone unplugged it from charging and reversed the USB Type C Cable in phone port and charging adapter on charging brick

Seems to be charging normally now. from 67% it reached 85% pretty quick and phone says 34 mins till full charge which is much better that the five hours it was taking just to reach 67%.

I will monitor this situation and as read on another topic I feel is has something to do with the USB cable.

I also notice different charging speed when rotating the USB end that's plugged​ into the phone. I've ordered new USB cables, they charge the same speed as the original Cabela's, not like a fast charger that where on my Nexus 6, but more like standard charging.

cable seems to be working and charging fast now maybe it was a fluke or the new battery needed to break in.
Update: I apparently didnt push the charger all the way up as this si my first USB Type-C Phone and charger, I was afraid to damage it or something. I think it works well now.

Bought a backup cable as well for the car.
