I have an iPad 10 (A2696) model running 17. I have a Pencil (A1603) and it will connect then disconnect after I start writing on the Pad. The Pencil is fully charged.

I have tried the following:

  • Restarted the Pad
  • Turned off BT
  • Unpaired and paired the Pencil

I am not sure how to fix the problem. What am I missing?
 
I get this sometimes when im working with alot of BT devices all next to each other (Musician with BT footswitches, AirPods Pro, iPad Pro, iPhone all on a metal music stand, etc etc). sometimes 'docking it' on the magnet for a second reconnects it.

I know its not the answer your looking for, but also try to isolate the iPad and see if that helps at all with reconnecting the pencil. Also, is the pencil used on another iPad/shared?
