2nd Gen Apple Pencil won’t charge on the magnetic strip of my M4 iPad Pro

The pencil didn’t initially pair with my iPad either—I had to plug it directly into the iPad. It’s been snugly connected to the magnetic strip all day, but I just got an alert that the pencil is at 20% battery. When I connect it to the magnetic strip, there’s no drop down notification that it’s charging.


I tried forgetting the pencil and doing a hard reset, but it didn’t help.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

Maybe because the 2nd generation Apple Pencil is not compatible with the new M4 iPads?
