Apple Pencil 2 draining iPad Pro battery

Has anyone else found that leaving their Apple Pencil 2 attached to their iPad Pro 11 overnight drains the battery anywhere from 15%-25%. I did a test of leaving the pencil attached over night and saw a 17% loss in the iPad battery. The pencil was fully charged when I left it connected overnight. So it really had nothing to charge on the pencil. Then I charged the iPad to 100% and left overnight without the pencil attached and the next morning the iPad battery was still at 100%.


Seems like the Apple Pencil 2 is constantly drawing power from the iPad Battery. Was just wondering if anyone else is seeing this behavior. Would like to keep the pencil attached so I know where it is but not if it keeps draining the battery.

iPad Pro 11-inch, Cellular, iOS 12.1

I would LOVE a feature in iOS to turn off the charging of the pencil or only allow charging below a setup percentage. I want to be able to carry my pencil connected to the iPad, but NOT have it drain the battery all the time.
