Perhaps your iPad is running too warm - and its thermal management is protecting the iPad.

“If the interior temperature of your device exceeds the normal operating range, you might notice these changes:

  • Charging, including wireless charging, slows or stops.
  • The display dims or goes black.
  • Cellular radios enter a low-power state. The signal might weaken during this time.
  • The camera flash is temporarily disabled.
  • Performance slows with graphics-intensive or augmented-reality apps or features.”

Reading info from previous posts and “help” sites, I turned off Auto Brightness, Auto-lock, Low Power Mode, and experimented with Reduce White Point. Nothing helped. However I usually use my ipad with a Logitech Keyboard and it turns out the keyboard has dim/brighten buttons. The dim button was broken and stuck in a permanently pressed down position! Decided to post here just in case it helps someone…
