I have this problem too and it seems to be connected to when I use <Command><Tab> to switch apps. My keyboard starts stuttering, connecting and disconnecting while I’m typing, and only gets fixed if I force restart my iPad Pro.

Make sure the metal contact pads and pins are all clear on both the iPad and the keyboard, and that debris is not preventing the keyboard from seating fully. If the contacts are clear and the keyboard is seating, contact Apple Support and discuss your options and alternatives. You can use the Get Support link in the upper right of this webpage.
