iPadOS 16.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Bluetooth

Ever since iPadOS 16.4.1, my Apple Pencil 2 disconnects from my iPad mini 6 every couple of minutes (with or without sleeve). I constantly have to reattach the pencil.

Troubleshoot method:

-remove sleeve and reattach

-turn off/on Bluetooth

-reboot iPad

-remove sleeve and reattach

And still, my Apple Pencil 2 continuously disconnects. I’ve turned off other devices using Bluetooth to see if that would solve my issue but that doesn’t work. Anyone else experiencing this issue/headache? Solutions?
