iPad iPad Pro keeps turning itself on

[Citizen Cook]

I have an iPad Pro (M1)
For a while now, after plugging in the charging cable and turning off the tablet, the device powers itself back on 30 seconds later. It never used to do this. Is this abnormal behaviour or part of an update?
And does iPad have smart charging like iPhone yet so that it learns your sleeping habits and maximises charging?

The iPad Pro does not have optimized charging.

Are you using a Smart Cover? I find that if you handle the combination in such a way that the cover moves slightly it gets interpreted as the cover being opened and the iPad turns on. Problem is that it doesn't turn off again and you end up with a "fully charged" iPad that's dead.

Is there a short in the power cord?

Every iPad (and iPhone) I've ever owned always turned itself back on to charge. Unless I'm mis-remembering something.

The OP is plugging in and THEN turning the device off. See post #1.

Checked with a different cable. Problem persists

I am. I placed the tablet on a table, plugged in the cable, started charging. Turned off, quickly closed the case.
Tablet rebooted 20 seconds later.

I can suggest only to fully back it up, I prefer to a Mac but iCloud should be fine, do a complete system reset (wipe it clean and then a full restore) hopefully that corrects the issue. If that fails then the only other option is to take it to Apple store for repair / diagnosis?

One of my apps won’t cloud backup! I’m seriously worried because I can’t lose all of the work I have stored in that app
