Power Bank went bad? or my phone's USB port?

It's one or the other.

I use a power bank to keep my phone charged. It has QuickCharge 2.0.

Lately the power bank developed this weird thing where it would shut off after a minute or so while charging. This of course made it impossible to fully charge the device.

Sometimes if I applied a little pressure to the USB port it would get back to charging, before turning off again.

When I plug it into a home outlet it charges up fine. I can press the USB port to get it to drop connection, but it will fully recharge.

I have used the same cables in both.

I'm thinking something like the phone draws too much power and that shuts down the power bank? Why would it start hiccuping now?
