I just purchased the new iPad Pro 12.9 with magic keyboard and apple pencil 2nd generation. I have a question, will the pencil always charge if it sticks to the magic keyboard? If yes, what if overcharging?
iPad Pro, iPadOS 14
The second generation Apple Pencil can only be charged using the iPad’s magnetic dock - intended to specifically charge the Pencil. The Magic Keyboard cannot charge the Pencil.
The Pencil will not be overcharged - in fact, you would be best advised to dock the Pencil with your iPad whenever it is not being actively used. Keeping the Pencil docked with the host iPad ensures that the Pencil is optimally charged - and will protect the Pencil from damage.
The tiny internal pencil battery is vulnerable to damage if not regularly charged. Setting aside an unused pencil is a recipe for premature battery failure.

modern devices can't be overcharges
If you stick your Apple Pencil on it, it starts charging. Your Apple Pencil's battery might be damaged if it's overcharged.
