Why isn’t my Apple Pencil pairing with my IPad Pro?

Honestly it’s so mind numbingly stupid I was using my Apple Pencil like normal and then all of a sudden and I really mean all of a sudden it stopped working.

I tried everything, turning my iPad on and off, hard resetting it, forgetting the pencil, turning Bluetooth on and off, resetting my settings and it just doesn’t work for no reason.

I didn’t drop it, the nib isn’t a problem, I was using it and then it just stopped working and it won’t pair with my iPad no matter what I do I don’t know why it’s being so stupid. When I try to pair it it shows up on my screen for 5-10 seconds and then it disappears without pairing.

My software is up to date I can connect my wireless headphones to my iPad, I really don’t understand and it’s really annoying.

Does anyone have an answer to this? Thank you.

I’ve had it for practically a year at this point, and I haven’t contacted Apple because I’m (maybe foolishly) hoping this problem solves itself.
