Far northern Maine.
When I plug in my iPad, the green charging symbol shows, but the number keeps dropping.

I have changed the plugin thing. No luck.

I have tried with one of those power banks. No luck.

I’m on the road for the next week, and this isn’t acceptable. I need to put in hours in order to be paid.

Not sure if it’s related, but I updated the iOS this morning.

HELP!

Have you tried restarting your device?

Aside from trying a different charger, have you also tried a different cable?

What about looking into your Lightning port on your iPad to try to clean it out in case there might be some lint or some other dust/debris gathered there that could get in the way somehow?

Is your device overheating? It appears that once the internal temperature of the device reaches 100F, it stops charging until it cools off. I have confirmed this with 4 different devices.
