iPad asking for passcode even when not restarted or updated.

Why does my iPad ask me to reactivate touch id with my passcode when I have not restarted or updated it?

See this paragraph:

After you set a passcode, on supported models you can use Face ID or Touch ID to unlock iPad (depending on your model). For additional security, however, you must always enter your passcode to unlock your iPad under

the following conditions:

  • You turn on or restart your iPad.
  • You haven’t unlocked your iPad for more than 48 hours.
  • You haven’t unlocked your iPad with the passcode in the last 6.5 days, and you haven’t unlocked it with Face ID or Touch ID in the last 4 hours.
  • Your iPad receives a remote lock command.
  • There are five unsuccessful attempts to unlock your iPad with Face ID or Touch ID.
