Why is my Apple Pencil not charging past 0%?

I've recently started using my iPad again and the 2nd Gen Apple Pencil as well. However, I found that despite being able to connect and the iPad saying the device is charging, it is not going up beyond 0% after many hours of "charging". The pencil hasn't been used for a few months but is otherwise brand new and in pristine condition. I wanted to know if this was an issue I could solve at home or if I need to reach out to Apple about replacing it.

My Pencil was not charging. It had been sitting for months. I held it tightly in my hand for about 10 minutes, and now it charges fine!

Mine wasn’t charging past 2% after sitting in my purse for 3 days. Did “forget the device” on Bluetooth and reconnected it, it’s working perfectly again!
