iPad Air 4 Lag

I’ve had my Air 4 since December 2020 and since then, I haven’t been able to play games without absurd frame drops and stuttering, and the only way I can fix the lag is if I turn on the built in screen recorder. I was hoping that the iPadOS 15 update would fix this problem but unfortunately it didn’t, why is this happening?

Unstable screen refresh rate. After I updated my software to iPadOS 16.2 My iPad Pro screen refresh rate became unstable. Especially when I play games. After logging in and entering the game, for a few seconds, like 2-5 seconds, my iPad Pro refresh rate become limited to 60Hz, which the note (it is rhythm game) came very sluggish and not smooth, like it was lagging. I tried on other rhythm games too, and it was the same result. If I record my gameplay, the playback at gallery is normal like nothing wrong. I have tried to restart, reduce motion, turning off the background refresh app, and detach any accecories, but unfortunately, all have the same result. I wonder, is M1 can really this problematic? Or it is just other else.

Screen Record only can capture first few Seconds Hello, I have ipad 2018 and ipad air 2 with latest iOS and whenever i record this game called "the world of magic", the recording is only the first few second and then it becomes white screen with audio still recorded. Also after try to record the game, the screen record feature broke until I restart the ipad (its 3.2.1 then still black record button). It works in iphone X so I think its a ipad only bug. if anyone know the fix please inform me, thank you in advance!
