Whenever I use my iPad Air 13 (brand new) I overheats and the screen dims so much so that is difficult to see the screen Is there a cooling case that will help. I have had the iPad replaced because of
the same issue so it seems to be “normal”

My iPad Air 11 inch M2 goes through cycles of getting pretty warm. Just depends on the demands on the processor by a certain app. Charging while using it also adds to the heat with the battery heating up charging. I have also noticed the dimming issue where the brightness can go through major swings of brightness with auto brightness.
I finally turned off auto brightness myself. Happened more in portrait mode for some reason.

It is not unusual for an iPad to become warm when being used - more so when using some types of iPad case. High screen brightness and/or CPU intensive Apps will also create more heat - and in some situations will cause an iPad to automatically take steps to avoid damage to its battery or electronic components.
Are you using your iPad outdoors, or in very bright ambient lighting? If so, the iPad may brighten its screen to maximum, adding to generation of heat. Moving indoors to more subtle ambient lighting conditions can help, as can removing a fitted case from your iPad.
Ensure that the iPad has good ambient ventilation. Avoid placing the iPad on soft furnishings - as this added insulation can cause the iPad's internal temperature to soar.
