Magic keyboard for IPad randomly loses typing ability.

I have had this issue off and on for a long time now. This is for 2020 iPad Pro 11 inch and magic keyboard. I have already tried all the standard trouble shooting restarts etc. I really believe this is a software issue. After updating to IPad Os 15 it seemed to work fine. then after 15.1 it came back with a vengeance. The only solution has been to close the lid or some times turn the screen off. This is frustrating because it is very disruptive to my work flow. Anyone else figure out a fix for this? Again please do not respond with the usual scripted trouble shooting. That does not work.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15
