My M1 iPad pro and apple pencil 2 have been with me for over a year now. I have recently noticed that the pencil stops charging by itself (while attached to the iPad) and even drains completely if I do not remove and reattach it to the iPad. Do you guys have similar problems? And if so how do I fix it? Thanks so much in advance.
As a first step, perform a forced-restart of your iPad - and retest:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
Your Pencil and iPad will automatically regulate charging of the Apple Pencil while docked with the host iPad. While docked, the Pencil should be optimally charged; when maximum charge has been achieved, charging will stop until additional charge is required. This process protects the Pencil battery from being over-charged.
Removing the Pencil from the iPad - and then replacing the Pencil on the charging dock - will also trigger a recharge.
If the Pencil or iPad develop a fault, this optimum charging may not operate as expected - requiring some fault-finding.
The most effective route to identifying the issue is substitution:
If you need additional help, or further diagnostics are required, you would be best advised to visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad and Pencil:
