Short battery life on my Apple iPad (11th Generation) iPadOS 18
Cause 14 of 14: Background refresh of apps is turned on
When background refresh of apps is turned on, some apps will still be able to check for content updates, even if you end them from the list of running applications, and therefore increase the power consumption.
Solution: Turn off background refresh of apps.
