Magnetic charging of my Apple Pencil no longer works. I can charge withe usb cable. When I snap it to the side it doesn’t acknowledge it nor does it charge. I know this use to work. I have tried rebooting my iPad.

By contrast, the Apple Pencil Pro and second generation Apple Pencil can only be paired and charged by attaching the Pencil to the host iPad's inductive charging dock.
