Hello. I recently bought an apple pencil pro for my iPad Air, and when i keep it on the side it keeps charging, even at 100%. I’m worried that the overcharge will cause problems with battery life of a pen. Any solutions?

It is generally recommended that Apple Pencils that support inductive charging should be kept docked with the host iPad when not in use - as this ensures that the tiny internal battery is kept optimally charged when not in use. Charging only occur when the Pencil battery requires charge from the iPad, optimal charge being entirely automatic.
Keeping the Pencil separated from the iPad when unused risks allowing its battery to discharge; if allowed to remain in this state, the battery will suffer irreparable damage. When the battery fails, the only remedy is to replace the entire Pencil; the battery is not a serviceable item.
An otherwise healthy Apple Pencil will suffer no negative consequences from being docked with its host iPad for extended periods.
Charge your Apple Pencil and check the battery - Apple Support
