  We report Chandra-ACIS observations of SN 2023ixf in M101 on day 13 and 86
since the explosion. The X-rays in both epochs are characterized by high
temperature plasma from the forward shocked region as a result of circumstellar
interaction. We are able to constrain the absorption column density at both
Chandra epochs, which is much larger than that due to the Galactic and host
absorption column, and we attribute it to absorption by the circumstellar
matter in the immediate vicinity of SN 2023ixf. Combining our column density
measurements with the published measurement on day 4, we show that the column
density declines as $t^{-2}$ between day 4 to day 13 and then evolves as
$t^{-1}$. The unabsorbed $0.3-10$ keV luminosity evolves as $t^{-1}$ during the
Chandra epochs. On day 13 Chandra observation we detect the Fe K$\alpha$
fluorescent line at 6.4 keV indicating presence of cold material in the
vicinity of the SN. The line is absent on day 86, consistent with the decreased
column density by a factor of 7 between the two epochs. Our analysis indicates
that during 10 years to 1.5 years before explosion, the progenitor was evolving
with a constant mass-loss rate of $5.6\times 10^{-4}$ M$_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$.
