“apple pencil battery life”

Seems this service is causing hellfire for my phone right now (iPhone 6s + on TMobile) running iOS 10 (14A5261v). Cant open the iMessage settings and iMessage will start out the day working as intended but start to fail later in the day. The service shows 99-100 utilization in Instruments and ~32:17.964 of CPU time.I tried to go through and sign out of a bunch of services:iCloud - (takes forever but eventually does sign out)iTunes/App Store - (same as above)iMessage - cant because wont let me get into the settings to sign outFaceTime - finally got in to sign outHomesharing - Not signed inFacebook - Signed outTwitter - Signed outVimeo - dont haveFlickr - dont haveSpotify - dont haveand service is still crazy. Any other ways to stop/reset the service to have it be refreshed like new? I restart the phone frequently and it doesnt do anything. Any other ideas? Putting in a bug report as well.

In OS X NSEvents are generated when the pen is close to the surface already, so a program knows where the pen is before it actualy touches the surface. Windows works the same. AFAICS iOS doesn't: looks like UITouch events aren't generated until the Pencil actually touches the screen. Is this corrrect?

I have had my Ipad for about 3 1/2 years- all of a sudden the pen stopped working- I did all the things, removed it, re connected it, turned everything off, and then on again, I even have a total of 3 pencils-none of them worked. but the ipad recognized it-said it was at 100% and that it was connected. The ONLY thing that I found out finally worked was when I removed my Ipad from the magic keyboard, reconnected the pencil, then I could put it back on the keyboard. but now, anytime I close the keyboard up, then go back and reopen it, I have to go through the same thing..The pencil will not work again. Any suggestions?
