So I’ll be using my iPad Pro and out of nowhere it would go dark with the spinning wheel. After like a second or so, it would send me back to the lock screen. Already tried a hard reset, but it keeps happening. It doesn’t happen frequently, but it usually happens when I have two apps open on screen. Is anyone else also experiencing this? If so, is there a way to fix it?
iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 3rd Gen, Wi-Fi
I realise this is a new-ish 2018 iPad Pro, but how much internal, free data storage space is left inside of this iPad?
Do you keep a lot of potential background active running apps in the iOS background app switcher, like over 30-50, or more apps?

Have you tried a simple hard reset of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons?
Went ahead and checked, and the Background App Refresh was switched on. Hopefully turning it off will work. As of storage, I bought the 64GB version and I only used up like 14GB, so I don’t think storage is the problem.
Anyway, Thanks for your time.
Have you tried the new hard reset procedure for the new 2018 iPad Pro models.
1. Press and release the volume UP button.
2.Then immediately press and release the volume DOWN button.
3. Then, press and hold the Power button at the top. You will see the Slide to Power off button, but keep on holding down the Power button until you see the Apple logo, then let it go.
Once you have performed all the steps, wait for a few seconds and your 2018 iPad Pro will boot up completely to the iPad Pro’s Lock screen.
Good Luck!

Make a backup. Make sure you made that backup. Restore and setup as new, do not restore from a backup. If your problem goes away you know that this is OS related and not hardware.
Again... back it up. You don't know what's wrong at this point.
I am having the same problem with my iPad Pro 2020. I’ve already called Apple and had to do and erase and reset. And the problem is still occurring. I will call Apple again and try and get another answer. Mine was running all night and the iPad Pro was very hot to the touch. It went from 96% to 26% overnight.
I didn’t have the magic keyboard. Mine was continually spinning. I was on phone with Apple Support for multiple days. They sent it off to engineering to try and figure out what’s going on. The response from engineering is that’s how it is. So I returned it. I’m not gonna spend $1200 on some thing that keeps losing battery power because it’s spinning continuously. Mine lost 60% of power overnight and was hot to the touch the next morning.
I am noticing the battery drain in my 2018 ipad pro too , but not in a big number yet i hope...
afterward i’ll have to being this down to the apple store to see how it goes,
very bad experience here
Thank you for your times, by turning Bluetooth OFF actually work ! During last night my battery no longer drain off itself , as i inspect from the graph. As well as during the day, battery reduction seem to be slower as well, but then I’ll have to switch on and off whenever i need my Apple Pencile.... However, I’ll observe for a longer run.
Thank you

No, because my iPad Pro is not a 2018 or later iPad Pro.
I am having the same problems after i starts using the new magic keyboard... never be able to fix it.
Try toggling OFF Bluetooth in the Settings apps and NOT from Control Center swipe down.
See if your battery life improves.
Thank you , i’ll sure give it a try, cheers
I understand. I hope they will be able to help. Good luck.
