iPad won't go to sleep

I have my iPad (air, 4th generation) set to go to sleep after 2 minutes, but it won't go to sleep at all (unless I push the button). It's as if it's set to "never." I have restarted my iPad but that hasn't helped either. It's draining my battery too. Any ideas?

Ipad with IOS 16.3.1 won’t go to sleep mode after 2 mins itself + drains battery when not using Hi there, I know that there are those of you who experienced this or are curently experiencing this. My iPad since last week won’t go to sleep mode + it shows in battery overview that when not used and closed it drains battery a lot (can be seen in home&lock screen). Tried restarting all the setting + setting up new iPad and so far it didn’t work. I set up 2 min time for iPad to go to sleep doesn’t work either. Tried turning off widgets on main screen. Tried chaning the theme. iPad itself is brand new with 6months of usage.

Ipad sleeping when i touch or move it a certain way i just got a new ipad pro and it works fine other than that the screen randomly sleeps when i move or touch it in a certain way. Ive been trying to figure out what position or what makes it fall asleep cuz im not touching the off button or the volume buttons when this happens. Ive already tried changing the amount of time before it sleeps still no change. It randomly does this so i cant replicate it but i want it to stop 😭
