Why iPad Pro 12.9-inch (6th Gen) battery only lasts for 3 Hours

I have an iPad Pro 12.9 inch, 6th generation, with 512 GB. I bought it in January 2023, and I haven't used it a lot. I only use it for Procreate and I noticed that the battery only lasts for 3 hours! I searched and found out that it is supposed to last for 10 hours. Is this true? And if so, what do I need to do?

Most iPad's specifications state battery life of "up to" ten hours - this being in ideal conditions. Using high screen brightness and CPU/GPU-intensive Apps will shorten battery autonomy before the iPad must be recharged.


Have you considered using your iPad while connected to its Power Adapter? So doing will provide full functionality of your iPad - and not deplete the battery while being used.
