If I understand correctly you had been waiting for your apps and iCloud content to download to your replacement iPad but its been (at this point) longer than ten and a half hours. Depending on the capacity of your iPad and how much data was on it, that could very well be accurate according to this article:

Restoring my device from an iCloud backup is taking a long time
Restoring from a backup might take a while because of the size of the backup or the speed of the Wi-Fi network. For example, iCloud can take approximately 1 to 4 hours per gigabyte during a restore process.
There are several steps you can take:
- In iOS 8 or later, check the progress of the transfer on your device under Settings > iCloud > Backup. If the restore process is underway, the iCloud Backup setting is dimmed.
- Make sure that your device is connected to the Internet with reliable Wi-Fi.
- Make sure that your device is plugged in to a power outlet.
- Check the Apple progress bar that appears while transferring a backup.
If it still doesn't finish or seems to be stuck then quit the Settings, Music, iTunes, and App Stores if they are running:
Force an app to close in iOS
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2013301. Press the Home button two times quickly. You'll see small previews of your recently used apps.
2. Swipe left to find the app you want to close.
3. Swipe up on the app's preview to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

If you have a current iTunes backup you could also restore your backup from there as well:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities, let us know how that goes!
