After updating my iOS on my iPad mini 5 the battery depletes when on standby

after a certain iPadOs update (updated in april) my ipad’s battery started to drain fast without any actual activity on the device! Before the update i used to charge my ipad to 100% then go to sleep and when i wake up the battery would still be at 100% but after the update when i charge it the same way i wake up to find the battery at 50% or less! and this doesn’t happen daily btw sometimes i wake up to 100% and sometimes 50% or less!

my ipad is updated to the latest version now but the problem is still happening!! how do i fix this!!

(you can see in the photo how the battery life level is decreasing while there’s no activity at all)

If your iPad is not performing as expected, try a forced-restart - as this will often clear an isolated or post-update software issue:

Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
Press and hold the top button.
When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.

Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.

If the problem persists after performing the restart, it may be necessary to reset your iPad settings. While this reset will not cause any loss of data, as a precaution, it is always wise to ensure that you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup before performing the reset:

When you are happy to proceed, you can perform the reset from iPad settings:

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset All Settings

If the problem still doesn’t clear, the next step is to reset the iPad to factory settings:

Otherwise, you would be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively and perhaps easier, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad - and you can explore your available options:
