The tiny internal Li-ion battery is susceptible to permanent/irreversible damage through being left discharged for long periods. Even some “new” pencils can exhibit signs of failure out-of-the-box if they are “old stock”.
It is essential that if you have an Apple Pencil that you charge it regularly - whether used or not - so as to protect the battery from deep-discharge. Do not allow a pencil to remain in low-charge state for any period of time - as the internal battery will fail, rendering the Pencil useless. Setting aside an unused Pencil, for extended periods, is a recipe for premature death of the Pencil battery.
If the Pencil Battery has failed, the only remedy is to replace the Pencil. If the battery has failed and your pencil is within its one-year warranty, you should look to having it replaced by your retailer or at an Apple Store.
Some reports suggest that gentle warming of the Pencil (such as placing the pencil on a hot water radiator) prior to attempting charging can sometimes resurrect a Pencil battery. Whilst nobody should advocate external heating of any Li-ion battery (this being potentially very dangerous), gentle external heating of a tiny battery is unlikely to lead to catastrophic failure.

the apple pencil was not being used for a long time and was kept in its box. now I need to use it and hence got it out. it pairs and shows all charged up but just does not respond on the screen. so was wondering whats the issue?
Hey thanks for the elaborate answer. I do not think it's a battery issue as the pencil shows charged when I check in Settings - apple pencil. it is also paired thru Bluetooth. yet it does not respond on the screen at all. not sure where the fault is.
Prior to this issue, when was the last time your Apple Pencil was charged up and used with your iPad?
