Apple Pencil 2 draining iPad Pro battery

I'm hoping iOS 12.1.3 solves this problem--I'm topping everything off right now and letting it all sit overnight with the Apple Pencil connected. I have a feeling it will not be different though, as I have not seen any changes in the release notes pertaining to Apple Pencil issues.

For those of you saying "just turn off Bluetooth" or "that's how it's supposed to work, just leave it unattached", those aren't solutions. The whole point of this new design was to make it easier to carry the Pencil with you and always know that you'll have it when you'll need it. If I have to leave it sitting on my desk because it bleeds my iPad dry within 3 days after not even being used, that's a major problem and is not the functionality that was advertised.

Having to turn Bluetooth off has negative effects that I'm not willing to live with on a day to day basis. Having to leave the Pencil sitting on my desk unless I need it removes a major feature upgrade that made me want to dish out the $129 to upgrade from the old Pencil.

My iPad was completely drained out overnight. Just found out about this issue. That’s crazy. Mine seems to be the most extreme case scenario. I wish mine was only 15-25% lol.. Now I have to charge my iPad up again before school. Had I known this was an issue I wouldn’t of gotten a case that enables you to keep your pencil attached to your iPad all the time. Sheesh!

I have the same issue. The Apple pencil 2 is not always charging. At a certain point, even when attached to the ipad, it starts to drain. Any news on this?

I have IOS 12.1.3 and still have high battery drain with of iPad Pro 11 battery when pencil is attached.

After a reboot of my iPad yesterday, the pencil acts as before: draining sometimes, even when attached. Darn!

.

I leave the iPad Pro plugged in with the pencil attached. This evening my Pro is 100% charged. My pencil is at 76%. Charged..

Why not both 100%. This makes no sense at all.

This definitely helped for me, too. 2 percent drain per night with pencil attached instead of 10-20.

Yes, I got this problem also.

Apple need to fix it

I confirm your information :

the old version :

the new version :

It’s good new, to Check during a long time ...

Thank you for your information...

What version of iOS are you using?

Version of iOS : 12.1.4 (16D57)

For information : my battery during 15 hours (no use)

If the apple pencil is 100% charged, does it still drain battery from the ipad? I mean, the software should stop it from charging.

Never mind.

I thought I was responding to a different Apple Pencil post.

There have been quite a few of Apple Pencil issues overnight.

I know the apple pencil is meant to charge from the iPad. However what is unclear is if it should be such a large drain even in standby. If it is indeed normal it would be nice for Apple to just say don't keep apple pencil on ipad during overnight standby to avoid heavy battery drain.
