Well, if this is the case then I guess I'll be back to a constantly discharging Apple pencil while it's not being used unless Apple updates some code to cause the pencil to sleep until it makes contact with the iPad screen...I suppose you could keep Bluetooth off to save the Pencil battery, but then you wouldn't be able to use Bluetooth for other things...if this is true, Apple...please come up with a way..a setting...ANYTHING AT ALL for my Apple Pencil so that it will hold a charge while its sitting on a table doing nothing. I've been watching mine lately...I charge it to 100% lay it down on a desk untouched for 2 hours and the battery has dropped to 65%!!! Just not acceptable.
