Is it normal that the battery is so bad?

Question

First time owning an iPad (A16 256gb), I Bought it in September 2025, and I have to charge it 2-3 times a day when I use it. Admittedly I do use it for hours as I use it for studying but it runs out so fast, I have to charge it 2 time and sometimes 3 when I use it for the whole day.

My maximum capacity is still 100%, I used for about 25 cycles and I have my limit to 80% and I updated to iOS26.

It’s new but I feel like the battery performs just like my iPhone 14 Pro Max’s battery that is kinda fried from playing games and is almost 2.5 years old.

I’m really not sure what to do as I really like everything about it but the battery.
