I thought when you have a case on the iPad and you close the flap over the screen the iPad would turn off, ie screen goes black so battery is not drained. This does not happen with my iPad mini 6 but it did happen with my iPad mini 5. Couldn't find a way to fix this.

iPad cases that are able to lock the iPad when closed contain a tiny magnet that interacts with a hall-effect sensor embedded in the iPad.
As the location of the sensor may vary between iPad models, compatible cases that offer this feature must be designed explicitly for the specific iPad model. Many third-party cases do not have a magnet, or have the magnet incorrectly positioned.
Did you enable it in Settings---> Display & Brightness---> Lock/Unlock ?
Just because the case is made for your iPad does not, necessarily, indicate that it can automatically lock your iPad. Perhaps more to the point, unless the manufacturer specifically states that the case does support this function, then the case most likely does not have this capability.
Manufacturer description does specifically say it locks iPad mini 6
Case description claims it does this for mini 6. Is it possible something is wrong with the iPad? Anyway to test whether case or iPad is the problem?
Why doesn't iPad turn off when cover closed?
