I just purchased an iPad Air 5th generation and I noticed the battery loses a lot more power than my old iPad mini. I also noticed that it is losing power overnight when I am sleeping. I don’t have apps refreshing in the background.

Comparing two different iPads isn’t always apples to apples since it depends on how each is configured. Using the steps listed on here you can see what is causing the battery drain on your iPad

Did you check in Settings > Battery to see what might be draining the battery? If it's something like rapid battery self-discharge (which is unlikely but I've seen it occasionally) it wouldn't show up there as anything using up the battery.

I personally leave my devices connected to power overnight. There's nothing about doing so that would damage a battery. And it might be better than accumulating charge-discharge cycles that could be avoided by simply making sure it's connected to power to handle its active power needs.
Seems like the Maps app was coming up as being used when I wasn’t on the iPad. I will keep watching it.
