Anyone else having issues with Touch ID on new iPad Pro? It will work for a while and then stop. I have to restart the tablet to get it working again. When it stops, I can't even go into settings and add a new fingerprint.

**update**
I notice also that when this happens, my Apple Pencil disconnects and stops working. Once I plug the Pencil back in, it connects and Touch ID starts working again.

Try resetting all settings and see if that helps.
