So say one of my usb c cables inevitably poops the bed and everytime I plug it in my phone it says “slow charging”. Does it damage my phone at all to continue using that cable for long stretches of slow charging?

    Ok so it’s more dependent on what actually is malfunctioning. It’s just my cable that’s messed up, I bought a new one that works fine but I was wondering If I left it plugged into an old phone 24/7 as like a digital picture frame/alarm or something if that would be bad in the long run

      Your biggest worry would be the battery, they don’t like to be at 100% all the time. If the phone charging limit can be adjusted you should be good to go. But I’d watch the battery closely for any swelling.
