If I charge IPAD Pro 12.9' 2017 too often, is it harmful to its battery life?

I have bought an IPAD PRO 12.9' Mid 2017.
I studied about IPAD Pro battery, it is lithium-polymer battery type but still got a question that if I would like to maximise the battery life, can I charge my IPAD often for example battery percentage drop from 100% to 85%, I started charging it up to 100% again. My question are;

1. Does it count as 1 circle per one charge?
2. Is this way harmful its battery?
3. How is the correct way to charge, Am I done correct or not?
4. Any Advise to charge my iPad to maximise battery life?
5. If I still charge regularly as I mentioned, will it be harmful to my battery and how many circle it have left?
6. How many circle in total approximately is IPAD Pro 12.9' 2017 battery life?

I am so confusing. Kindly reply my questions.

Best Regards,

iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 2nd Gen, Wi-Fi, iOS 11.4.1

A cycle (not circle) is the equivalent of one complete charge (e.g., 2 charges after discharge to 75% twice and one charge after discharge to 50% once = 2 x 25% + 1 x 50% = 100%). Any combination that adds up to 100% is a cycle.

You can charge as frequently or infrequently as is convenient for you. Neither will harm the battery.

You are way, way, WAAY too over-thinking this. Just plug it in whenever convenient to do so, for however long is convenient to do so. Otherwise use and enjoy it.
