Occasionally my Pencil doesn't register either, but it usually does. If you restart the iPad then you have to re-register the Pencil by plugging it into the iPad as you stated, but it shouldn't drop the registration as long as the Pencil is close by the iPad and has a sufficient charge. There might be a timeout feature though. I charge my Pencil every morning in a 3rd party charger. I too have noticed that the battery charge indicators sometimes don't display in the Status page. Both of these issues seem to have improved with iOS 10.3.1 installed, but Apple still needs to improve on this quite a bit.
