There are many reasons why your iPad may be shutting down.

Some causes of it could be things like software bugs, battery issues, etc. that is hard to know for sure.

Please try updating your OS if it is not at the latest version.

For the case in which it is an issue with the battery, try using the battery as much as you can, to use all of its charged electricity. Then charge it (preferably with an official charger) until it is full.

Finally, it could be due to too much memory being used on your iPad. This can cause some issues that can potentially make your iPad restart. We recommend that you delete photos, apps, etc. that you don't use that is on the iPad storage. Note that this is separate from the iCloud storage.

If these methods don't work, it might be time to call in the actual experts.

You can book a call or such with Apple's Genius Bar, which can help you see if it is an issue that can be easily solved, or one that requires factory repair/reset.

Hope that the situation gets better!

Yours Sincerely
