I was busy for the last 3 days and have not used my iPad Pro. When I last use it, it was about 90% battery.

Today, I realized that my iPad Pro was not responding when I open it. After trying multiple ways to restart it I finally realized there is no battery.
 
Do you have Facebook on it? I don't have the iPP, but Facebook app is killing the battery of my 6S, being in the background for hours for unknown reason.
 
Do you have a pencil nearby or something using Bluetooth?

Haven't experienced this with mine, but I heard the pencil can activate the Bluetooth of nearby and jostled and cause drain. Don't know if true..
 
I don't have Facebook and I don't have the Apple pencil yet. Also my Bluetooth is off by default.

Is just scary to think that the battery just got drained like this....
 
Did you look in the battery menu to see what it was that was draining the battery? This has happened to me once or twice with my iOS devices but it's extraordinarily rare, and it hasn't happened on my iPP yet at all. Check in your privacy settings and see if anything is constantly keeping your location services on in the background too; I make sure that I don't let any app use location services if it's not running.
