My iPad only lasts a few days even with zero use. I have not been able to figure out what settings to modify so that I can (for example) pick it up a month later and not find the battery dead.

Harsh suggestion: log out of iCloud on the device.

If that works you can try to isolate it further.

>>JKCalh+r8
how do you work without iCloud?

Yes, I realize alternatives exist, but this works so smoothly on Apple devices.

It’s a debugging technique not a permanent solution.

If logging out of iCloud does NOT fix the problem, you eliminated a bunch of potential issues at once.
