As described, your iPad battery may have a fault, or may be reaching the end of its usable life. If the battery has failed or is failing, the iPad may unexpectedly turn-off - or may not successfully boot to a running state even when connected to its Power Adapter.
Are you able to use the iPad while remaining connected to your Power Adapter? Connect the iPad to its Power Adapter and allow the iPad to charge undisturbed - preferably overnight. Then, while still connected to the Power Adapter, verify if the iPad can successfully restart.
If successful, while monitoring the indicated battery state, disconnect the Power Adapter; if the indicated battery state suddenly falls, or the iPad shuts-off, this test demonstrates the iPad battery having reached the end of its usable life:

Otherwise, see >>> If your iOS or iPadOS device restarts or displays the Apple logo or a spinning gear unexpectedly - Apple Support
If you continue to experience difficulties, you will need to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively you can initiate and manage your support cases from another Apple device using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to hands-on test and assess your iPad:

The vast majority of iPads that have encountered the iPadOS 27/27.0.1 charging issue will slowly charge if they remain connected to their Power Adapter, undisturbed, for 24-36hrs. If you have a "basic" USB Type-A Power Adapter, this may charge and recover the iPad to a running state - from which it can be updated - somewhat quicker than a USB-C Power Adapter.
Once the battery has reached sufficient charge, you can update to iPadOS 27.2 directly from iPad settings:
Settings > General > Software Update
Ensure that you keep the iPad connected to its Power Adapter while performing the update.

Yes my husband’s iPad Pro & my iPad are experiencing issues with charging. My husband’s was first it’s now in with the apple repair agent here in Cyprus. Mine has just started with exactly the same issue.
Do you have an iPad9?
If yes, there is a known bug that impacts charging if the iPad battery is allowed to fully discharge. The iPadOS 27.2 update, released 26th October, reportedly fixes this issue.

Define "not working" "it loops for ever"
