Serious trouble with Apple Pencil (gen1) behavior

I've tried changing the nibs, switching pens (since I have two), charging the pens (both) and resetting the connection AND my IPad, but the issue keeps returning. It seems to just pick up random input and make... Lines? I took a video of it, but it's too large to upload here, so I've attached some screenshots.

This happened with me hovering the pencil a few millimeters above the screen and moving it up and down. When the pencil connects with the screen I have the same results, except parallel with the angle I'm holding the pencil at.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Search online to locate and call contact your nearest, “local” Apple Store location to try/attempt to make an appointment to get both your Apple iPad AND Pencil diagnosed and options presented to you.
