SP 3 pen writing when its not physically touching the screen

So I draw on my Surface Pro a lot. And today I noticed that when my pen is about an inch away from the screen, the computer appears to think that the pen is on the screen and that I'm applying the least amount of pressure possible. Except that my pen is totally not on the screen. Which means tons of inadvertent clicks and unintended lines. I tried fiddling with the pressure options but that didn't do anything to help my situation. Is this an issue with the pen or my computer, or what?

Yes this happens to me a lot, I dont know what it is, Ive also replaced battery but this issue persists, it's very random, I unscrew the top of the pen, take out the battery and then put it back, it's annoying but fixes the problem
