Battery life IPAD PRO 4th gen

I saw a few posts regarding battery life suddenly draining fast but were older post so I thought to ask.


Just a few days ago I noticed the battery life going down very fast, iPad Pro 4th gen (up to date/like new condition).

Normally while using for about 2 hours the battery would go from 100% to about 78 % and now 100% down in the 30s. I haven't been using any new apps, my iPad routine is the same. The only thing installed are updates.


Thank you

Higher than normal battery utilisation is not unusual following a system software update - as background tasks, such as re-indexing the file system, typically take several days.


If battery utilisation is excessive, one or more forced-restarts of your iPad may resolve the problem:


  • On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.



  • On other iPad models: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.




If the problem cannot be cleared, it may be necessary to restore your iPad - initially to Factory Settings - and then from your iCloud or iTunes backup.

You’ll need access to either a Windows PC (with iTunes for Windows installed) or a Mac (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of MacOS).

Use of a PC or Mac computer is unavoidable. If you don’t have access to a suitable computer of your own, that of a helpful friend or family member will suffice.
