Apple Pencil double tap feature malfunctioning

Recently, my Apple Pencil has been bugging out where, when I double tap, it will switch to the eraser but when I try to double tap to switch back to the writing tool, it will not. I am using the Apple Pencil 2 with an iPad Air 4th gen running iPadOS 14.4.2. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

iPad Air, iPadOS 14
