Pencil no longer works and Notes crashes

IOS 10 Beta 4. rebooted, re-paired pencil. 53% charge in pencil. Pencil shows as paired, battery level is displayed in notification center, but the pencil does not work in apps (Notes, procreate, one note) and does not work to select items in any menu.


Notes app now very slow and crashes after 1-2 minutes.


Pencil and notes operated earlier today with IOS 10 Beta 3.

Turns out the pencil died. I tried it on a new iPad pro at the Apple store and experienced the same issue. A new pencil works fine. Coincidence? Maybe....


Notes app still is slow and crashes.
