Is this while the Pencil is charging? If not, what exactly are you doing at this time? If you are doing something very processor intensive, such as gaming, watching a movie, or something like that, it would get warm, or even charging the battery. However, it should not get extremely hot. Are you seeing a problem with the battery discharging quickly?
