Why is my Apple Pencil plugged in but not charging
Check if the iPad port and the pencil connector is clean
After some time, dust will accumulate on the Apple Pencil connector, especially in the iPad lightning port. If you're having pencil charging problems, clean both the Apple Pencil connector and the iPad port. You can clean the pencil connecter with a soft cloth.
How do I know if my Apple Pencil is broken
However, if the Apple Pencil nib feels rough to the touch, or it doesn't glide smoothly on your iPad screen, it's time to replace it with a new one. (Another way to tell: your Apple Pencil tip has exposed metal.)

If you have Apple Pencil (2nd generation)
Attach your Apple Pencil to the magnetic connector on the long side of your iPad. When you attach Apple Pencil (2nd generation) to your iPad, the battery level appears near the top of the screen for a moment. If it doesn't appear, make sure that Bluetooth is turned on.
How many years does Apple Pencil last
The pencil should last several years if you're careful with it. The two ways it will fail are physical damage and eventual consumption of the batteries. One way you won't get long life out of a pencil is if you don't use it and keep it charged monthly. Avoid hard drops to the hard floor.
Is Apple Pencil repairable
Apple Pencils are sealed for life – and cannot be repaired. Other than the user-replaceable Pencil tip, there are no serviceable components. Your photo clearly illustrates that the transducer, located beneath the replaceable Pencil tip, has been damaged/destroyed.
How do I know if my Apple Pencil is damaged
Sometimes you might feel as if the Apple Pencil does not glide over the screen as smooth as it once did. You might also notice the iPad doesn't respond to your input as you would expect. These are signals that the Apple Pencil tip is worn out, and needs replacing.
Do Apple pens go bad
Once every two years is a good rule of thumb. Replacing the Apple Pencil tip at this interval will be smart for most users. Perhaps if you use your pencil very much, you should consider doing it more often. Also, if you only use the Pencil to take the occasional screenshot, perhaps after two years the tip is still top.
How do you revive a dead Apple Pencil
Try heating up your Pencil using a hair dryer on its highest setting for 5-15 minutes, or so. Do not get the hair dryer heat too close to the Pencil. Or try leaving it near an active home heating register, where you live, for 10-15 minutes, or so. See if this will revive the Pencil battery, or not.

Your Apple Pencil is exhibiting symptoms of a dead battery – that will not accept or hold any charge. The tiny internal Li-ion battery is susceptible to permanent/irreversible damage through being left discharged for long periods.
How many years do Apple pencils last
It depends on how you use it, I know someone who uses their Pencil every day and it lasted them two years. I just replaced mine after six months of often long-session daily use (in hindsight, probably should have replaced it a month prior).
Do Apple pencils just stop working
If Apple Pencil is acting unresponsive, it is most likely out of battery. Try plugging the pencil into your iPad (Pencil 1) or placing it on the side of your iPad (Pencil 2) and letting it charge for about ten minutes. Then try using it again. You may need to re-establish a connection with your iPad.
