Pencil won’t work

The pencil worked once on my new IPad Pro, now it won’t work. I have tried to charge it; can’t tell if it is charged. I have closed and reopened notes and Nebo. What else to do?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

You can enable the battery widget in the Today View on your iPad to see how much charge is left on the pencil and on your iPad.

Use widgets on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

This might be helpful for troubleshooting the pencil. I want to credit user LotusPilot for making me aware of this website.

Was the pencil left uncharged for any extended period of time? If the answer is yes, the teeny tiny battery in the pencils, if uncharged long enough, die and can't be brought back to life.
