My laptop has been plugged in for about 30 minutes, but the battery percentage hasn't moved from 10%. I've tried updating the system, restarting it, and just letting it sit to charge. What could be causing this issue? Should I be worried?

Try removing the battery if possible and see if the laptop powers on just with the charger connected. If it does, the issue might be with the battery itself. If it doesn't power up, then the charger or the charging port could be the problem.
Honestly, from what you've described, it sounds like the battery might just be on its way out. You might want to consider replacing it if you can't get it to hold a charge after trying those steps.
Make sure you're not using a random charger, especially if it's USB-C. Using a phone charger or a lower wattage charger won't work for a gaming laptop like the Nitro V16. Stick to the original charger!
It sounds like there might be an issue with either the battery or the power supply. A good first step is to check if the charging cable is functioning properly. Do you have another charger you could test with?
Good point! It's usually a good idea to troubleshoot that way.
