See above relating to battery life, non charging often and when plugged in won’t allow me to use it for more than 30-45 minutes max. Even when plugged into charger, it often states not charging. Even when plugged in the battery drains quickly. I have an IPad Pro 9.7 that is about 6 years old.

The symptoms that you describe may suggest a failing battery. Depending upon how you iPad has been used - and its battery maintained, you might anticipate a battery lifespan extending into the full life of the iPad.
These support pages should help with troubleshooting battery and charging issues:
Charge and monitor the iPad battery - Apple Support
If your iPad won't charge – Apple Support
Troubleshooting generally requires substitution of the Power Adapter and cable for another known-good item. Most models of iPad require a Power Adapter rated at 12W or greater to reliably charge. 5W Power Adapters intended for older models of iPhone are inadequate to charge an iPad; if the iPad charges at all, charging will be very slow.
Be aware that many computer USB ports cannot source sufficient power to charge an iPad. Unless explicitly designed for charging connected devices, computer USB ports are typically limited to 0.5-1A @5V (i.e., 2.5-5.0W).
If you continue to experience difficulties when using an appropriate Power Adapter of 12W or greater, you might be best advised to seek assistance directly from from Apple Support - and request a remote diagnostic test. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively and perhaps easier, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also 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. If battery replacement is indicated, you’ll be in the best possible place to explore your available options:

The typical Apple Battery lasts through about 2 years of normal usage. So I would guess that your 6 year old battery needs to be replaced. All batteries deplete with time and usage. Make an appointment at the nearest Apple Store for possible Battery Replacement...
