2020 iPad Air, recently I noticed that battery was draining faster than before. The display stayed on, despite the settings are at 2 minutes to off. I did a restore and that seemed to work, the display would dim then go off. But 48 hours later, it's back to old ways.
OK, I might have done something to dim and shut off the screen.
I have my iPad next to my Air and one thing I noticed was the Handoff was activated. Nice feature, but I thought maybe this was keeping it from sleeping. Turned off Handoff.
Then I went into all the notification settings and turned off almost all except a few essentials.
Now it dims after 30 secs and goes black after 60secs.

Have you performed a forced-restart of your iPad - as so doing will often clear an isolated software issue:
Not yet, so I will try this...but I don't hold much hope, since the full restore worked for a day or two then back to old ways.
