My iPad Pro (2nd generation) 11 inch stops charging at 80%
Note: Its Summer and room temperature is definitely above 35 degrees where I charge my iPad
Is the issue with the last update ?
I didn’t find anything regarding iPad on Support forum but in iPhone there’s a section telling about why charging stops at 80% only limited to iphone.
iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Do you leave your iPad connected to its Power Adapter for extended periods? If so, this is not of itself an issue - as the iPad will optimally manage battery charging. When connected to a Power Adapter for an extended period of time, such as when used in Kiosk or PoS (Point if Sale) applications, iPad will change its charge management strategy - and reduce the maximum battery charge level to about 80% of maximum capacity.
This strategy is intended to extend the life of the battery by reducing chemical ageing that occurs when the battery is continuously maintained 100% charge. As soon as a “normal” charge/discharge pattern is resumed, charge to full capacity is restored.

this feature is on iPad Pro to but there is no way to turn this off
I reduced the temperature of my room at night and charged it and it charged to 100%
And during the day time when my room was about 35 degrees it stuck on 80% again.
therefore it proves that iPads also have optimised charging but apple didn't specify it on paper
I think you may have Optimized Battery Charging turned on. This feature reduces battery aging, by charging to only 80%. You can find it in Preferences> Battery> Battery Health, bottom of page.
This feature is present on iPad and it can't be turned of too. I tried it myself by adjusting temperature of my room

The Battery Health feature is exclusive to iOS for iPhone - and is not present in iPadOS.
I am so sorry for that mistake. the phone was sitting there and I dove into its settings instead of the iPad. I hope I didn't cause too much confusion.
Charging freezes at 80%
