Hello Phlox2021,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Based on your post, you can't get out of erase mode on your Apple Pencil with your iPad Pro. We'll do our best to assist.


If you're using the 2nd Generation Apple Pencil, try to double-tap the tip to switch between the current tool and the eraser.


Try out: Use Apple Pencil with your iPad


Should the issue persist, which app are you trying to use with the Apple Pencil? What happens when you try using it in another app, like Notes or Maps?


Hoping this helps out, take care.
