I also made an appointment to the Genius Bar on Monday the 20th
On the basis of your description, I cannot begin to comprehend what you might be seeing. Can you post a screenshot or photo - as this will significantly help with understanding the issue.
Otherwise, you might be well advised to visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad. Should repair be required, you’ll be in the best possible placed to explore your options:

If the problem doesn’t show when using a screenshot, but can be seen in photograph, this indicates that the problem is hardware related.
Your posted photograph, while indistinct, appears to illustrate some discolouration - and brighter patches - both of which are symptomatic of localised de-lamination of the screen backlight.
If my diagnosis is confirmed, the only remedy is to change the entire display panel. Assuming your standard one-year warranty has expired, unless you have an active AppleCare+ plan, the cost of screen replacement may not be cost effective. Screen repair, without benefit of warranty or AppleCare+, is typically c.60% of the “as new” cost of the iPad.
What if I get insurance through an insurance company like Allstate or State Farm ? My friend was telling me about that if I don’t have apple care, which I don’t 🙈 I was wanting to get it but it was too late and it expired ! Omg I’m so scared now that it’s a hardware issue, I’m trying to take care of it the best I can, letting it cool off, taking it out of the case I have for it, etc
If your insurance policy includes “all risk” for electronic items - and your iPad has been accidentally damaged - then your insurance policy may provide cover. Be aware that most domestic insurance policies, unless they are explicitly an “extended warranty”, will not cover gradual deterioration or breakdown of appliances.
Either way, if you intend to explore the possibility of an insurance claim, you’ll need to contact your insurance company.
here you can kinda see the discoloration
It’s hard to get a picture of it and the screenshot won’t help show the issue but thank you so much I have a spot reserved on Monday at a location ❤️
