Pencil won't turn off

This is sort of an absurd design solution. I only use my pen every few days but like to keep it with my iPad. What I would like to do is charge up the pen and then pull it out, when I want, fully charged. With the current "it's always ready to go" solution, what I get is that I charge up my pen (30 minutes on charger) then put it in my bag. A few days later, I pull it out and find its dead. Then, instead of getting to use it right away, I have to charge it from my iPad every 30 minutes of use.

You are aware that the Apple Pencil can quick charge over Bluetooth.

A 30 second charge gives your Pencil 30 minutes of operational time.

So, you could just do a succession of 30 second charges every 30 minutes, or so.

There is no way to shut off an Apple Pencil because Apple wants you to always have it active whenever you pick it up to use it.

Disconnecting from Bluetooth doesn't shut off the Pencil, either. It only keeps it from draining faster from having the constant connection to the Bluetooth signal.

If you keep the Pencil plugged into your iPad when not using it, I think it will charge back up to full power in an hour or two.

FYI,

If you plug your Pencil into your iPad for 15 seconds, you'll gain a quick extra 30 minutes of use.

Good Luck!
