Delay in start charging ipad

Recently I bought an iPad mini 5, it works perfectly fine and keep battery very well but when I want to charge it when I plug it into the charger it sometimes take a few seconds (like 4-8 seconds) to start charging and I have to mention that I use Ipad’s original charger and cable and I also used anker power bank also my iPhone charge but I still have this problem.

Any one has experienced it? and anyone knows is it serious problem and is it may damage my iPad?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Exact same issue here on the iPad Pro 2020: can vary between 10 seconds to over a minute! And that’s with the official USB-C charging cable and fast-charge plug that came with the device

Curiously, using an old iPhone adaptor and USB to USB-C starts charging the same device immediately

And likewise: the official cable and charger are recognised immediately if the unit is powered off

Bizarre, very basic, issue

I also have this problem, I think it’s an issue in iOS/PadOS as I’ve seen iPhones also do this is some versions of iOS.

I am currently going through this issue. I have tested on Apple branded and other brands of charging wires and ports but issue remains. I’ve contacted Apple and I got my replacement today. Issue is also on the replacement.
