iPad Pro draining when plugged in

My iPad Pro drains when I'm using it even though it's plugged in. Any fixes?

iPad Pro 12.9-inch Wi-Fi, iOS 9.3.2

Ok so i also have the 12.9 model. Say your battery has 10% juice, you plug it in before going to beD. I upgraded to the usb-c charger too. It will charge up to 100% then slowly drain back to zero WHILE plugged in!!

I've noticed that if i simply unplug the power from the ipad at any time and then give it 2 seconds and then plug it in, it will start charging back up to 100% again.

So i dont think that it has anything to do that the ipad is drawing too much power, rather i think it is a bug with the units charging logic. Apple.. Please fix this!

Thanks

I have the same issue using the charger supplied and cord supplied with the ipad I purchased. No, I'm not plugging it into a computer or low power USB port. And I'm not even using any demanding apps really. It'll be at 15% and plugged in. And while using it it either won't charge at all or actually goes down. This is a little ridiculous as I've only had this ipad for less than a year and it was almost a thousand dollars.

Hi. I've seen this reported before. Apparently, the charger with the iPad Pro 12.9 doesn't supply enough current to run the device. Not the best arrangement.

Hi DavidSeth. Is there any chance you're using a Logitech Smart keyboard? There are reports that connecting it turns off charging.
