It may be a software glitch (especially with beta or newly released OS versions). It can also be a hardware issue — e.g., backlight or display ribbon problems around the top edge of the screen. Forums for earlier iPad Pro models show flickering at edges/corners attributed to hardware. The fact it happens when the mouse pointer is over the time/date area suggests it might be tied to a UI element or the system status bar render region.
