How do I fix battery draining issue on iPad Pro M4?

Your iPad Pro is likely operating as expected. Your iPad's specifications for battery life between charges are quoted as "up to" - these figures only being achievable within very specific testing criteria.

High CPU/GPU utilisation, such as encountered with games and graphics Apps, can significantly impact battery utilisation - as can high screen brightness - requiring more frequent charging of the iPad battery.

Consider playing such games while the iPad is connected to its Power Adapter. If your standard 1m (3') charging cable is too short to comfortably reach your Power Adapter during gameplay, longer charging cables are available from Apple and other good computer stores.

When purchasing USB-C cables, ensure that they are USB-C Certified.

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

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

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

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:
