Make sure that your iPad is updated to iOS 13.6 and also try plugging the iPad into charge and unplug it right away. In other words, plug it into the wall socket using the power adapter, then plug the cable into the iPad port, then unplug the cable and then plug in Apple Pencil into the port.

Hello,


If Apple Pencil’s battery sits depleted for an extended amount of time then it will essentially ruin the battery preventing it from ever holding a charge which makes the Apple Pencil useless. Apple Pencil has a 1 year warranty (when purchased from Apple) which means that Apple will most likely replace it if the battery has failed.


Please refer to the following Apple Support document on how to troubleshoot Apple Pencil.
