I read somewhere that someone had their battery replaced on their iPad because it was below 80% for $79. Mine still runs great but the battery is dying quicker. I looked for a battery health indicator on my iPad and could not find one. Is it even worth it to replace at this point?

I took in my old 2018 iPad Pro 11” for a battery replacement. $99 they botched the job, Apple had to give me a refurbished 11” iPad Pro but they have NO 2018 A12X units so they had to give me a refurbished good as new of not new 11” M2 iPad Pro.
2 generations worth of upgrades and 8GB RAM up from 4GB LOL

If you want to replace it with Apple it's $99, not $79. And third party tools are not reliable. They can tell you that your battery is below 80% and Apple can tell you you are at 90% and refuse to replace the battery
That’s exactly what happened to me

Something tells me they didn't give you an M2 iPad Pro.
