Gen Two Pencil Never Pairs

Question

Gen Two Pencil Never Pairs

I have followed all of the steps listed to reboot everything, but my gen two pencil won’t connect. The Apple Pencil pop up appears but never actually connects no matter what I do. I followed all the steps on the support page so please don’t tell me to try that again. It just flashes for about a minute and disappears and doesn’t connect. How do I get this to work? It’s done this every so often and takes days before it decides to work again!

I have tried these steps and it still doesn’t want to pair. Considering you linked me the same article you stated I came from I will assume this was an automated response. I am waiting on a reply from support and may go into a store to have them fix the issue. I will post here again if they figure it out for other people.
