Hey, so my ipad is 9th generation. It recently started doing this thing where whenever it’s on but not in use, it charges fine, but when i’m using it, it goes down. I know it’s not the cord since it works fine on my phone, so is it a charger port thing?

Hi taylortharp3,
If the battery is draining quickly, we should have a look at what your iPad says is draining the battery.
Have a look at what your iPad says is using battery here:
About the battery usage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Try reinstalling the app you see causing the issue.
Let us know what happens.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
My wife has this same issue. It is a 9th Gen iPad which she bought right before the release of the 10th (so it is still under the initial coverage). It charges up fine, but the battery dissipates 70+% over night, even not being used.
The battery setting says that the app using the most power is the Home/Lock screen.
I have fully charged the battery, updated the iOS, shut off notifications, shut off background activity, turned on low power mode, set the auto-lock screen time to 5 minutes, and restarted.
I will let you all know tomorrow if there is any difference noticed.
5 days later and the battery is down to 59%… Just on standby.
I’m thinking this is standard… No?
