Some Kindles with early 5.12.x firmware versions went nuts trying to update even in airplane mode and that would drain the battery.
You have not written your light setting or whether your wifi connection is solid.
That howtogeek article looks reasonable for general tips.

My light setting was pretty high. I just turned it way down. Wifi connection is good. I turned airplane mode on. That test I did as per your suggestion didn’t indicate any issues with indexing. My firmware version is 5.12.2, and since this Kindle is new, I think it would have checked and updated during setup.
