I just updated my ipad pro to ios 12.3.1, and I noticed that my apple pencil is not charging anymore,
its battery shows 0%.
I tried to reboot and reset the settings and I searched for similar problems but nothing helped.
anyone had this problem after updating.
I am using 12.9 inches iPad pro 2018 with 2nd generation Apple Pencil
iPad Pro, iOS 12
Had your Apple Pencil been unused/uncharged for any extended period of time? If it had, the teen tiny l-ion battery can die if not continuously charged at least to 5%. Either way, it's not likely the update stopped your pencil from charging. A dead battery is the most often reason for a pencil to stop charging. You must still be in the one year warranty period, so take the pencil to your closest Apple Store and if found to be defective, they will likely replace it. Make sure you always keep the pencil charged. Even a few days without a charge can be enough for the battery to die.

I did take my pencil and iPad to the store, they did a reset and it started charging after that, but still not as usual,
sometimes it charges and sometimes not,
so I really believe its a software problem and the next update should fix it
So your Apple pencil is still connected via Bluetooth?
You can still see it being paired to your iPad?
I encounter exactly the same issue as you do.
Do you have, after restarting the iPad and trying to pair the apple pencil, a bubble saying "Apple pencil unable to recognize", then another one with a pulsating "Apple Pencil", and then nothing?
Because that's what I get. My apple pencil isn't working since the last update, nor is it charging.
Its always connected to my iPad, I was using it in the morning when I updated my iPad and it was 100% but at the night of same day I found out that it was 0% and not charging..
I believe I am going to check with the store
No, it just shows the bubble with Apple Pencil and 0% battery with charging sign but its not charging.
I don’t know if they are going to solve this problem soon
Yes it is paired and connected, but it won’t charge above 0%
I would recommend doing that.
Apple pencil 2nd generation not charging after update
