last night i plugged in my charger at 3% and it went down to 2% and then shut off. i took out and put back in my charger but still nothing, this morning i purchased a new charger and it wouldn't work either no matter where i plugged it in. has anyone experienced this?

Are you getting absolutely no reaction at all on screen indicating charging status? What about in a pitch black room, does the screen not light up at all?
no nothing at all

Sounds like the phone is at issue here. Do you have a T-Mobile store or Apple store nearby? Warranty or handset protection plan? It might be the battery itself or the port or the software that controls the port/charging. Did you leave it plugged in with the new charger and different USB/AC port for an hour or so? If no plan or warranty, there are a lot of places both in malls and stand alone shops that can diagnose and usually quickly repair or replace a battery or other part.
i do have insurance and i will be heading to a store in a few. ive been leaving it charged with the new charger for about 30 minutes now to see if anything turns on

Best of luck with it.
I had a similar issue with my wife's phone; it appeared to have died. I had AppleCare and the first thing they had me do was a hard reset. Hold the power and home buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears....5-10 seconds. Since your battery is so low, have it plugged in when you try.
After the reset, it worked fine. I hope that fixes your issue for you.
Here is a support article from Apple

Thanks for trying steps to get your phone to work
Hard reset is the first thing we should try to do when an iPhone has a software issue. It may not be omnipotent, but solves many software issues.
To apply a force restart to your iPhone. Or try using an iphone system recovery tool to fix the issue. Of course, you can also visit the Apple store to repair the device.
