Battery drain becomes faster after iPadOS update to 15.1

I have battery drain issue since IOS 15 (delivered with my brand new iPhone 13, you now the one that claimed "15% more battery life" than iPhone 12) ...
It is a nightmare. It empties itself of 60% during the night (unused obviously) ... I was hoping IOS 15.1 fixes this but not. My iPad Air 2 also empties itself in less than a day just sitting here, although here the battery health is due to the age not the best ... but under IOS 14 it was holding 3 days.

A similar issue was described in this post (but it was on iPhone instead of iPad). Have you tried to do something with the iPad so far, like resetting it?
right I have also the issue on my iPhone 13 ... This is why I kind of guess this comes from IOS 15. Apple is ruining its reputation releasing those craps OS. Why the hell do they think obliged to come up with something "new" (is there anything new really?) every 12 months ? Look at the first screen on the iPad ... it looks like s**** under IOS15.
They should take their time and come up with something of good quality, properly tested that's worth the money we pay the hardware for.

I tried hard reset, but not fixed.
iPadOS 15.1 is really DISASTROUS.
Apple should be fix this bug immediately.
My mom has the same iPad and the same issue. I have a 12.9 iPad Pro (and 2 other iPads, 4 iPhones) with no issues. The battery drain is so fast you can actually watch it drop. Very frustrating.
Yes, same iPad, same issue. It’s so bad I am considering a trade-in. Perhaps this will be fixed in a future iPadOS release.
My iPad Pro 9.7 went from battery drop of 10-15% daily to 40-50% since the IOS 15.1 update. I put it in Airplane mode and battery drains 1-2% daily.
I am also experiencing notification problems on my iPhone XS. I only receive notification from phone, messages, calendar and Snapchat (snap I could do without). I am not getting my Amazon, eBay, UPS, Capital One, news, weather, Walmart and MyChart (medical). These are app notifications I really need.
I have tried every Focus configuration possible!

*Update*
Fixed my iPad Pro 9.7 battery drain! Turned off "Share Across Devices" on iPhone, iPad and Macbook Pro and battery drain improved from 40-50% loss to about 10% daily loss.
iPhone xs appears to be fixed. I am starting to get some notifications on some apps by deleting the app and re-installing.
I hope this will help some of you that are having issues!!

What setting are you referring exactly? Do you mean the setting to let iPad receive normal SMS or phone calls from the iPhone ?
Go to iphone and iPad settings, Focus, turn off "Share Across Devices". I also did the same for my Macbook. In my opinion the iPad, which I typically don't charge accept when needed is constantly syncing with my iPhone and Macbook when sharing is turned on and running my iPad battery down. iPad has been doing really good since turning off sharing.
Didn't work with mine. Mine is also running VERY laggy. It's becoming annoying, I'm considering saving to replace but that's exactly what apple wants, call me cynical.
