Not if you give us absolutely nothing to go on no.
The first thing I would do is take off any shells - anything that completely covers the back.
Nope. It almost melts my skin off but it dosent show that
It just keeps losing performace and battery
I do this from time to time to check the temperature my finger almost gets burned.
Based on your description, I think you should stop using that iPad immediately. It sounds like the battery is dangerous and at risk of catching fire. The fix is most likely a new battery.
Hmmm, then I’d go through the usual IT stuff and see if anything helps:
- turn off/on again
- update OS to latest version (i f applicable)
- end processes that aren’t needed
- check battery health with a tool like coconut battery
If nothing helps, take it to an Apple Store if you have one close by.

The battery temperature is stable tho. The part that heats up the most is the cpu (normal) but the lower part is also hot for example im currently typing this on it and these two parts are hot the battery is fine.
You can't feel from the outside which inside parts are getting hot. The entire case is filled with battery. That's what you're feeling. It sounds dangerous and I recommend you stop using it. As mentioned, take it to an Apple Store or call Apple for repair options.

OK. Now take it to an Apple Store or call Apple for repair options.
Yep. But thats only in 2024… december 2024.
Anyone who says that an iPad gets hot enough to "almost melt off your skin" without backing up what that means quantitatively really raises some serious eyebrows with me.
My advice: If you think it's getting too hot without a good reason, take it to an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Provider so they can run some diagnostics on it. It'll be free.
