apple pencil not responding at all

I use my apple pencil to draw pretty frequently, and up until now it's worked fine. Saturday night it randomly stopped working! I've been through all the troubleshooting tips, it's connected via bluetooth, it's charged, and the tip is tightened. I even ordered new tips, but they haven't changed anything! I restarted my IPad Pro multiple times, and even software updated it, but still no response. Does anyone know what i can do? I don't want to go to an expensive apple store and I don't want to replace it until i'm sure there's nothing i can do
