Apple pen won’t work even though it’s connected

I have a question about my 1st generation Apple Pencil. It says it’s connected to my IPad(8th gen), but won’t work when I try to use it. I’ve tried: rebooting iPad, disconnected Bluetooth, and charging pen.


I really would appreciate any help/suggestions given. Thank you :)
