Is it normal for my iPad Pro and Apple Pencil Pro to lose charge fast?

I’m an artist, I purchase my new M4 iPad Pro 11 and Apple Pencil pro over a week ago, I have encounter an issue of both products battery doesn’t last as long as they should, iPad only last around 4 hours from 80% battery while using drawing app, not sure if this normal? And it also getting warm quite fast! On the other hand Apple Pencil pro hardly last 1 hour per 100% charge it already drop to 20% after 1 hour use. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

SOLVED THE PROBLEM… (at least with mine)….

in my case, the battery drainage issue was bc my pencil was listed in the findmy device list so that it could be tracked if lost. When I removed the pencil from that list about 9 days ago now, the rapid battery loss stopped and it kept its charge like it suppose to even with daily use of it.

Similar experience. I write music on the iPad using an application called staffpad. After writing for only about an hour, the pencil was already close to 20%. My previous apple pencils lasted for hours. Yes, I can recharge it but writing music is sometimes about ideas flowing and to disrupt that flow to wait for a charge has me regretting getting it. Hopefully apple can fix this asap.

Thank you for you responses, but what about Apple Pencil pro, I used to use Apple Pencil 1 and they last quite long, the pro version’s battery seems to drain way too fast

Even so, it should drain when there’s no movement right?

I have the same devices and my ipad drains very quickly. Just this morning, it dropped from 80% to 40% in 2 hours and I am using Goodnotes only. Experience fast discharge even when using Apple Notes.
