My iPad 11 (2025) is draining battery very quickly. I bought it 7 days ago. It loses charge especially fast when playing Minecraft and even when changing wallpapers — for example, it can drop from 45% to 44% instantly within a second. Is this normal behavior or could it be a defect?
Battery utilisation/autonomy is influenced by many factors - the most significant being screen brightness and CPU/GPU utilisation. Apps and games that make particularly high demands upon the CPU/GPU can be expected to have significant impact upon battery life.
You need to consider battery use over a period of time - not second by second. Speaking of personal experience, with a modest screen brightness of 20-25%, dependent upon the App being used, you might reasonably anticipate seeing the reported battery charge deplete by 7-15% per hour - with CPU intensive Apps or high screen brightness (such as when using your iPad in bright conditions, such as outdoors) using considerably more.
If you have any concerns for your iPad's battery performance, you would be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support - and request a remote diagnostic test of your iPad. 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 hands-on test and assess your iPad:

If purchased directly from Apple, in most countries you have 14-days within which to unconditionally return a device for exchange or refund. As you have posted here in Russian, I assume that you have purchased within the Russian Federation - where your available options may considerably differ.
