You think you have the litterary capacities of Chaucer? 
What are you doing here then?

We all are more than good at littering, it's not that hard.

I must say I hate it when people think repeating exclamation marks will help in any way. I usually don't do that.

Depends on the tablet, depends on the OS.
The WookieTab under Win10 goes into Sleep mode when I shut it (with the KB attached), press the power button, or do nothing with it for a few minutes. So it disables the WiFi, slows the CPU to a crawl, and does pretty much nothing except monitor the power button / KB Open latch magnet.
But an Android Tablet doesn't - it turns off the display, but keeps everything else running - checking the email every 15 minutes, looking for updates every 10 seconds if there is an Adobe product installed, you know the kind of thing.
So an Android tablet with the power button pushed still uses a fair amount of power, and this can flatten the battery. If you hold the power button, it brings up a "power off" option, which does exactly what it says on the tin.
What type of tablet are we talking?

It is a Lenovo IdeaPad A1107...
As much as I know I did shut it down - not just left it there... (see my comment above)

Superfish strikes again.
It just drained the battery monitoring you. Feel the love.

The battery might be blown.
You can replace it if you know its dimensions and you have a soldering iron.

When was it build?
A search for "IdeaPad A1107" shows hits from 2013. Lithium batteries will loose capacity with time and typical life times are 3 to 5 years.

At which point, the fun starts. I have a Galaxy Tab that has an iffy battery. These things are glued together, I vaguely recall an article I read in the past about using a hair dryer / heat gun to soften the glue.

It is easy to replace - 6 small screws and a cable...

End of 2013... I will ask the local lab to check the battery...

Indeed it is!
Have to brush up on my clue setting - had hoped it would last a little longer...

Way it goes sometimes - you post a nice simple little clue and nobody gets it. You post a fiendish monster, and 30 seconds later it's solved.

I liked that one - shame that Griff had to ruin it by solving it so quickly!
Slogans aren't solutions.
