Apple Pencil Not Responding

I have an Apple Pencil (2nd gen) that I have been using on my iPad Pro (3rd gen) for about a year now and just the other day it started to lag in response but a restart fixed it. Then it just stopped responding all together. I looked up online for fixes but none of them seem to work. The blue tooth connection was fine, the tip was fully screwed on, and the pencil was fully charged. I still get the charge icon at the top whenever I connect to the iPad. I restarted and updated my iPad, disconnected and reconnected my pencil, and even bought replacement tips to see if that’s the issue but it still won’t respond. Not sure what to do at this point, if it needs to be repaired or taken on to an Apple Store, or time to buy a new one, though these pencils aren’t cheap. I just need a fix for this as soon as possible. >.<
