Glitch line with brushes on iPad Pro

Hi - I am using Procreate on iPad Pro 4th gen and 3/4 of the way down the screen I have a glitch line (video attached) where the brush acts like it has hit a bump, the registration of the pen also ‘jumps’ there when you are doing a slow line. Any thoughts ?? Thanks in advance

Apple Pencil Pro Glitching Randomly today and the day before my Apple Pencil Pro (which only works with the iPad Pro 13inch 2024 Ver. At the time of this post) has begun glitching. as I am using a program like Clip Studio paint or swiping between apps while utilizing my pencil, I have noticed that I randomly jump around or when I’m drawing the lines don’t continue as I have applied either the same amount or more pressure on the screen. I’m looking for some sort of fix or some sort of solution. And I want to know if it’s the pen or the tablet itself. I am currently Updating my device (and hope this fixes it. If it doesn’t, I would like to pose this question for everyone else having the same problems. How do I fix this and what should I look into?

Apple Pencil skips and makes huge marks - brushes with pressure sensitivity are malfunctioning My apple pencil in Procreate and other art apps makes thin lines, skips, then suddenly only makes hugely thick lines. I want to use it for art and calligraphy, but this problem is persistent and makes that impossible. Does anyone have a fix beyond: unpairing and repairing in Bluetooth (tried it) restarting the iPad Pro (tried it) checking the level of charge (it's fully charged) cleaning the screen or taking off a screen protector (which I do not have) replacing the pencil tip, which I have done telling me it's user error - it's persistent and other users of my iPad Pro get the same results Thanks for your help, team!

Weird sporadic issues in Procreate and other apps on iPad Pro I have an iPad Pro (M4) with Apple Pencil Pro running iPadOS 18.5. Yesterday while drawing in Procreate the brush had a weird bit of lag specifically with the pressure. The included video and pictures show the issue using a brush that has no pressure sensitivity. This problem only seemed to affect Procreate and only stopped when I plugged the iPad in to charge. It started again today and randomly seemed to stop when I took the iPad out of the case (pretty sure the two actions are unrelated to the issue). Shortly after Firefox kept crashing when creating a new blank tab, but not when opening a new tab from a link. Uninstalling and reinstalling the Firefox app fixed this issue but I think it highlights an underlying issue with my iPad. It seems to me to be a software glitch but might be caused by faulty hardware. Curious if anyone else has had similar issues and if anyone knows what the main cause might be? https://youtu.be/W9oZ4tNL3uc [Edited by Moderator]
