Things broadcasting on WiFi can drain an iPad. I have some WiFi light bulbs and they are pretty noisy. I had to put my iPads on a separate vlan to keep them from draining in a few days of standby.
My Mac laptops don’t have this issue. I think it’s because they are configured to not awake up on standby unless plugged in.
