Why is my Apple Pencil Pro stuck charging at 66%?

Hi everyone, I wanted to know if anyone else was having issues with the Pencil Pro. I had bought an M4 iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil together. Long story short, I’m 3 pencils in within less than 6 months and they all have the same issue. I take care of them, I don't wet them, I don't let them drain to 0%, I don’t drop them, etc. They all suddenly get stuck charging at around 66-69%. I unpair and repair a thousand times, force/hard restart the iPad multiple times, Bluetooth on and off, etc. This is the third pencil replacement this happens with. I even went to the Apple Store and had them run a diagnostic on my iPad in case it was a magnetic charger issue, and it was all clear. I have my iPad updated to the latest software, and it should not be a corrupt software since I started the iPad from scratch with no backup.


Is anyone else having this issue? I had to end up buying the USB-C version out of pure frustration since I can’t keep getting replacements over and over since I’m a student. Please let me know if you can relate. I wonder if it’s an issue with the Pro specifically, my 2nd generation Apple Pencil never gave me any issues. TIA!
