The iPad User Guide provides comprehensive guidance for pairing and charging your Apple USB-C Pencil:

Pair and charge Apple Pencil (USB-C) with iPad - Apple Support


If the Pencil is not charging properly when connected by the USB-C cable to the host iPad or your iPad's Power Adapter, this may suggest that you have either a faulty charging cable or a bad Apple Pencil. Try using a different USB-C cable.


If the problem persists, you would be best advised to visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to hands-on test and access your iPad, Pencil and charging cable. If a fault is identified, you'll be in the best possible place to explore your available options:
