Apple Pencil inoperable.

My Apple Pencil generation 2 suddenly not working. Shows it’s paired and fully charged and connected. I changed the tip thinking that was the problem but to no avail. Any suggestions?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 13

First and foremost, if not already updated to iPadOS 13.6 (current), you should do so. This update includes significant security updates and fixes for a number of functional issues.
