iPAD Pro 11" 2018 battery issue after 13.5.1

I updated the iPad Pro to 13.5.1 on 6/12 and charged it to 100%.


I then turned the iPad off (completely powered off) and put it away.


I turned it on today only to find the battery completely drained. This never happened before. Worked perfectly fine before the 13.5.1 update.


I have another iPad Pro 10.5" that I updated to 13.5.1 on the same day and also turned off in the same manner. Turned on today it has 100% charge.


I downloaded a battery app onto the problematic iPad and it tells me that the charge capacity is 7812 mAh, which is per specs the full capacity.


I recharged it fully and it seems to be loosing 1% of capacity per 2-3 minutes of screen use (just open screen with Settings on, no intensive apps being used).


This seems like a software issue to me.


Any ideas on what I should do?


Settings on the problematic iPad Pro are the same as on the nonproblematic one, no difference in background updates, apps on it and the like.

You can also go to Settings/Battery and see battery usage by app.


Sometimes there is a problematic issue with an app that causes an issue. If so, you can shutdown/update/delete the app, depending on how useful the app is to you.
