iPad Pro won't keep auto time & date anymore
My iPad Pro was in storage for over 6 months and naturally the battery drained completely. I did a full charge after getting it out again and the iPad works fine except for one annoyance. I noticed the time and date were incorrect even though it was set to automatically check a date and time server to keep things correct. I am able to manually set the date and time and it keeps accurate readings but if I switch auto back on, the date and time jumps back to the same, mysterious date and time from a past May (It's July 14th now). I changed time zones from Cupertino to San Diego but auto still didn’t work. I did a hard reset but auto still didn’t work. I'm running on a manual setting now but I wish I knew why the auto date and time won't work.
- Is there a separate battery keeping the date and time which possibly is drained so far it won't work?
- Is there a special process to force the iPad Pro to contact a date and time server?
- Can anyone suggest something to fix it?
Thanks, James

I looked at the stackoverflow solution and I am ignorant enough that I don't understand when he started with:
I connected the device with a different network (in my case, from the Wifi at work to the Personal Hotspot on my iPhone), then restart the Set Automatically in Date & Time.
First, I am on a WIFI which doesn’t block me from the Date & Time server because my iPhone X and MacBook Pro can connect automatically.
Second, I don't understand how to connect my iPad Pro to my iPhone using a HotSpot on the iPhone. I thought I set up the HotSpot correctly on the iPhone but I am brand new to an iPhone so I ceed that I may have screwed up.
I also tried leaving the iPhone on WIFI and connecting to it from the iPad using Bluetooth. That also was unsuccessful. I also tried using Bluetooth and I did manage to connect the iPad and the MacBook Pro successfully but the auto date and time still wouldn't work. I tried setting up a Bluetooth network on my MacBook Pro but got lost doing that too. What I need is a paint by number style list of steps I could follow from setting up a HotSpot on my iPhone then how to connect to it from my iPad!
I will continue trying periodically and soon or later I just might figure this out. Thanks for the suggestion though,
James
