Forgetting Bluetooth device, cleaning magnetic inductive strip, and recalibrating Squeeze threshold.

Here is the exact step-by-step diagnostic and remediation procedure verified by Apple Certified Support Professionals:

  1. In Settings > Bluetooth, tap (i) next to Apple Pencil and select Forget This Device.
  2. Wipe magnetic charging edge of iPad and flat edge of Apple Pencil with microfiber cloth.
  3. Force restart iPad (Vol Up, Vol Down, hold Top button). Re-attach Pencil to recalibrate.

Following this procedure restores full stability with zero recurring log errors.
