I have a problem with the batteries widget since updating to ios15 where the controller, when plugged in or via Bluetooth adds more controllers icons to the widget but then after removing the device by disconnecting, the icons continue to stay in the widget. The only way to clear it is by restarting the iPad.
Is this happening for anyone else?
iPad Pro, iPadOS 15
After ANY iOS/iPadOS upgrade/update, you should ALWAYS perform a simple hard reset of your Apple mobile device.
For older iPad models with a Home button, do a simple hard reset of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake/power button simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons.
OR
For much newer, larger screen iPad models, without a Home button, try the new simple hard reset procedure for the new 2018/2020/2021 iPad Pros and the 2020 iPad Air 4 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 single sleep/wake/power button 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.
Best of Luck to You!

I’m sorry to necro this, but this answer isn’t helpful to the described problem imho.
The problem is that since ios 15, the Dualshock 4 Controller will be in your Batteries widget until you restart the iPad or the iPhone on which this problem is also. No matter how often you restart, once you connect your gamepad again, it will be in the widget until you restart the device. Is there a solution to that that’s not permanently rebooting the device?
PS4 controller staying on the Batteries Widget
