Here are my questions to you.

What year and model iPad do you have/own?

The “A” model number can be found on aluminium back of your iPad in small print right under the larger bold print “iPad”.

What iOS/iPadOS version is this iPad, currently, running?

What is the rated, internal data storage space/capacity of your iPad model and how much of this free, internal data storage capacity is left inside of your iPad model?

Really?...

Why do you feel like this is a “ridiculous” amount of questions, as you so succinctly put it?

There are lots of iPads out there in the entire world.

There are lots of users with different iPad year and models out there, running different versions of iOS/iPadOS.

Also, iPad models with different storage capacities that users fill up to different amounts of data storage levels.

These are all perfectly valid product technical questions to ask.

Why are these questions SO difficult for you to answer?

We need all of this info to better assist iOS device owners with their iOS device issues.

Apple Support will ask you very similar questions, also.
