I've noticed my Ipad Pro M1 WIFI model is not updating it's location in find my when the device is turned off. I've confirmed this over the last 24 hours and the location stays the same along with the hours it last updated. Any help would be appreciated.

-Current OS 16.5
-bluetooth is on
-Find my iphone is on
-Find my network is on
-Send last location is on
-All location and system services are on
 
Iif you mean while powered off, not just screen off, I believe only newer iPhones have the feature to update their location while powered off.

My 12 pro max which is older updates it's location while off. And yes it is when the device is powered off.

Correct, if you notice, I said the feature only exists on iPhones. Not iPads, Macs, or AirPods. Go look at the Find My Network settings on both your iPhone and iPad. You will see different terminology on both IMG_9295.jpegIMG_0019.jpeg

Ahh yes I misread your comment. It wouldn't make any sense to have Find my network as an option though on the Ipad if it did not support it.
 
Well the find my network is also the feature that helps others with AirTags as your device will report locations of pinged AirTags and other non cellular devices
