Powered off iPad Pro battery drain... iPad OS 13.5

This is insane, since updating my iPad Pros 11 2nd Generation, to the latest update, both of iPad Pros have had a battery drain, while the iPads are fully powered down and turned off! Before the iPad OS13.5, neither one of them had this problem or any battery issues! Since both have different back ups, I find it hard to believe this isn’t an issue with the latest release of the OS. Is anyone else having this issue? I mean, literally... I charge both iPad Pros up, to 100%, turn them off, and the next morning they are literally at least than 60%! Is anyone having a similar problem or noticed this kind of battery drain while your iPad or iPhone are totally powered off?

For me, I found that turning it off, by powering it down, doesn't seem to turn it off totally... I found that after it shuts down, if you click the power button, even lightly it will boot back up! My solution came after realizing if I power it down, click it back on, then shut it down again, it seems to stop the power drain! This has worked on both of my iPad pros! Not sure why it isn't shutting down totally the first time it is powered off, but it doesn't ... Even the lightest click of the power button powers it back up, but if I powered it down again, after that boot up, it usually will shut it off totally... You can try that and see if it works...

Power it off totally
Click the power button lightly, after it shuts down! You will see it boots back up, after even the lightest push of the power button, then once it starts up...
Power it down again.
Click button lightly again to make sure it doesn't power up after a light press of the button!

That is what has stopped the power drain for my iPad pros!

I don't know if it will be the same for everyone but this seemed to work on both my iPad pros!

Misunderstood perhaps, the subject was IPad battery drain?

It was not.

The subject was “Powered off iPad Pro Battery Drain ...”.

And there was plenty of chatter below the subject line describing the reasons.

Look at my links in my long post on page 1 please.

You do not need AppleCare to contact Apple support about issues with Apple products.
