Apple Pencil not connecting anymore

My Apple Pencil will not show in my connected devices nor work anymore. I used it without issues for about four/five months until one day it stopped working. I have recharged it and updated my iPad to the latest version with no success. Also tried disconnecting and forgetting the Pencil but it won’t show again; as well as tried turning my iPad off and on again.

Hello everyone! Wanted to give an update on this situation:


After a few weeks of trial and error, I discovered that forgetting the device (Apple Pencil), updating the iPad to the newest OS, and connecting the Apple Pencil and iPad with a charging cord (USB-C to USB-C) fixed the issue!
