I am using a streaming software and recently the CPU turns completely red causing me to be dropped from streaming. I have an iPad sixth generation have not had any issues until last month. Can someone tell me what would cause this issue?

I have just ended my subscription with Switcher Studio for the same reason, as well as it not linking remote cameras (iPhones) as well as it used to. I think their software updates recently have been tested on new iPads and they’re expecting us to update our hardware to compensate. I can’t afford - and I’m unwilling - to do this just because for Switcher Studio. We’ve been with them for 5 years. The issues have been fluctuating over that time and I’ve just been told to reset everything and virtually have my router next to the iPads/iphones. Not good enough. Hope you find a fix. As for me, we’ll just use Facebook live without the bells and whistles that had worked well in SS before their latest updates.
Full red?
Your issue is unclear. Perhaps you can post a screenshot of precisely what you see (redacted if necessary, using markup tools, to obscure any personal or sensitive information) - as this will assist contributors here in understanding the nature of your problem.
You appear to be using some kind of performance monitoring App with your iPad - clearly not of Apple origin.
The App seems to indicate that your CPU utilisation is fluctuating, this being entirely normal. 100% CPU utilisation is not unusual, or in any way any indication of anything untoward. The graphic being coloured red is purely a cosmetic artefact of the App. Don't forget, the performance monitoring App is contributing to the CPU utilisation of your iPad.
As for your streaming difficulties, you provide no details of the streaming service - or how you may be accessing it. Are you streaming using the Safari (or other) browser, or a dedicated App?
When illustrating an issue with an image (this always being helpful) simply creating a screenshot from the device is far easier (and significantly clearer) than using an iPhone to photograph the screen of your iPad:
If you've not gone the route of cordless mics, it's worth looking into. It makes the audio, at least, pretty stable and flexible. I run a Rode Wireless Go system with an adaptor for the iphone link (and receiver).
Here are two pictures taken to show the CPU when I first go live. Green and then within a few seconds it changes to red and kicks me off the stream. I'm trying to determine what the CPU does and how can I fix whatever is creating this problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am using Switcher Studio which is a Live video production software for any iOS device. I sign into their site and click on the type of video, Live, recorded or practice. Once signed in I set up my video channels to stream and share my i-phone camera for the tabletop view.
I use an Akron stand (photo attached) which holds my i-pad and the neck holds my i-phone so I can share the content on my tabletop. I'm not able to screen shot while this is in progress due to the stand and not sure if that will interrupt the recording.
Switcher's tech people have had me run a multitude of tests to see which may be the problem and they have determined they believe it is my i-Pad.
I'm trying to understand what would cause the CPU to go red, which takes about 10-15 seconds after I go Live and then Switcher shuts down.
I appreciate your assistance and hope this provides you with the information needed.

I did the same. They suggested I upgrade my I-Pad (Black Friday special) through a local store so that in the event that didn't help I could take it back. I don't need a new I-pad, so I closed my account with them. And like you, am going back the way we used to hold FB LIVES-no fancy equipment.
What are the main reasons for high CPU usage on iPads?
