My conclusion after all this troubleshooting is that iPadOS 13 sucks at going to sleep. I only have Background App Refresh turned on for a handful of things, but that’s always how I set my iPads up-if I don’t need live information from the app at all times, I turn that off for that particular app. I’m sure I’m missing some, but that should mostly cover it. Just to give some examples of what apps I’ve been using during this time: There were a couple of isolated incidents in that 11 days where the battery was behaving like it was going to start draining like crazy again, but that didn’t turn out to be the case. #Iphone xs civilization v backgrounds install#My fresh iPadOS 13.3 install is 11 days old at this point. My battery drain has been stable since my last comment, so for about 4 days. Just to report some more data in on this: And DON’T PANIC if you don’t see results in the first day or two after the restore-it took mine about 3 days to really settle down and start acting normal again. If that doesn’t give immediate results, try to recalibrate the battery by running it down to dead and charging back up. So if you have a Mac handy and have the time (and guts) to restore all your apps and do all your setup from scratch, I would definitely recommend doing a DFU restore with no restore from backup. I no longer think that iPadOS 13.3 itself is the cause, but I do think the problem was introduced sometime during all the rapid fire dot releases starting at about 13.2.2. #Iphone xs civilization v backgrounds pro#I will note that I was not/am not having the battery issue on my 11 Pro Max or Apple Watch 4 LTE-just the 11” iPad Pro. So my steps were 1) DFU restore, 2) install all apps and settings manually, no restore from backup, 3) use the iPad until the battery goes completely dead and the iPad shuts itself off, 4) charge back up to 100% and see what happens. I didn’t start seeing the battery usage settling down until after I ran the battery down until it shut off. I am also willing to accept that my iPad Pro is a year old and the battery just isn’t quite as good as it was when new. I still do think this is something that needs to be addressed-13.3 just doesn’t manage power as well in the background and that’s just the reality of the situation unfortunately. Drain during the day while in use or standby is still a LITTLE bit faster than what it was on iOS 12 but nothing super drastic or deal breaking. Standby times on these nights have ranged from 6-8 hours. The last 3 nights in a row have shown only 2-3% battery drain in standby. My DFU restore with no restore from backup (all apps and settings set up manually afterwards) is now 6 days old and things really seem to have gotten a lot better:
