Is my alternator failing?

This isn’t on a Porsche.
It’s on the stupid sort of car that looks like it’ll need the whole engine, gearbox and subframe dropping to remove the alternator.
Battery is new, reads ~12.x with the engine off.
At idle reads ~14.x.
When revved reads ~12-13.x
When lights are on drops to ~12.x at idle.
It’s clearly charging a bit, but after a 2 hour drive the charge light started flickering on and off and 15 mins later it died.
