Usb camera adapter iOS 16.5 not charging device

Updated to 16.5 today. My 7th gen iPad is used for midi music apps. I have an apple usb lightning camera adapter with charging. The charging port will not work for the iPad anymore. I’ve tried several different apple cables. The adapter will allow charge-through to my iphone, so it’s not a hardware issue. I’ve done several restarts / reboots on the iPad. Still no success. Charging only occurs with direct connection and NOT through the adapter. Any other solutions available?

I also lost my charging ability through my camera adapter when I upgraded last night. Interestingly, I had a second adapter so I tried it and it worked. The one that worked was made by YHX and had model YT300, firmware 2.0.3 and hardware 1.0.0. Ironically, the one that did not work was made by Apple, model A1619, firmware 1.0.5, hardware 1.0.0. Looks like maybe I need to see how to get the firmware upgraded though you have the same firmware and yours works. Somebody at Apple could probably explain it all.

Same issue with 7th generation iPad! I have a small recording setup and my iPad will not charge with Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter. I Tried all suggestions including 20w usb-c to lightning and nothing worked. However, I did find a workaround with this. [Apple MFi Certified] 4-in-1 USB OTG Hub, Lightning to USB Hub from Amazon. My interface is powered and my iPad now is charging! Hope this helps!
