Hey, i have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Graphite 11.0" WiFi model and the s pen that came with it is constantly popping up the charging icon randomly everytime and I'm not even using it much and it still does it, wondering if anyone else is having the same problem as me

How often is "constantly"?  Is it often enough that you could go to Settings->Advanced Features->S-Pen and watch the status and see if it's disconnecting, causing the chargmg?

I don't think its disconnecting, its still connected but will constantly show the charging icon, like it would act like its being used when its not being used half the time

Boot to Safe Mode and see if it does the same thing.  Also you can try Booting to the Recovery menu and Wiping the cache partition and then Repair Apps.

I'm certain that its the s pen itself, cuz I'm not even touching it half the time and it does it at random

Use Samsung Members app to submit a warranty claim if the tablet is still under warranty. They may want to do some troubleshooting with you including a Factory Reset.
