iPad randomly shuts off at 40% to 11% and below and doesn't turn back on unless I plug it in.
My 2022 iPad Air has recently started randomly shutting off and not turning back on unless I plug it in. The battery percentage it shuts off at has been from 40% to 11% and below (mainly it happens right at 11% or 42-40%). If I attempt to turn it on, the Apple logo shows, but then it goes back off. I don't have to let it charge all the way to get it to turn back on, all it takes is me plugging it in and right away it boots up like normal, still at the battery percentage it was at when it shut off. But at that point I let it charge up a little more so it doesn't shut off again. My iPad is never overheating or running more than two apps when it shuts off. I don't have the brightness on too high, I don't sit and use it while it charges, and this iPad is only just nearly over a year old. It operates fine aside from this issue.
I have another post on here about how it is very slightly curved/bent, please feel free to read that for more context, but I'm not sure if that has something to do with? Is it causing something to mess up at certain battery percentages and shut off?
This is a bit annoying, as I'm tired of being in the middle of something and my device shuts off, and then I must go plug it in even though it's not supposed to die yet. Why does it only turn on when I plug it in? I hope this doesn't require some ridiculously expensive repair as I can't currently afford all that. I should mention that I haven't updated the OS since I got it. Current version is 15.6.1. (My reason why is because I hated the lockscreen update). Perhaps this is why this happens? I don't want to update it just for that to not be the solution, but I know that going a long time without updating can cause other problems.
