Fix for Asus Chromebook Flip C302CA Not Charging

I had a mild heart attack this evening when I tried to charge my Asus Chromebook Flip C302CA and nothing would happen. Unfortunately those who have a USB C charger here were already in bed, so I couldn't check if it was the charger or the Chromebook itself. Turns out it was the latter. A quick Google search turned up this Reddit post with a solution. I just had to hold the reload button and then tap the power button. Apparently that does an EC reset that resets the charging controller. Now it is safely recharging. Crisis averted.
