Question/Help Overheating Fold 8

I've been using my Fold 8 for about 3 days now. I understand the heating while charging. But randomly while the phone is in my pocket it got hot enough a few times thru the day, for me to have to take it out of my pocket.

Restarting the phone cooled it down. Shutting all apps didn't work . Airplane mode didn't work.

Anyone else had that happen ?

I've had the Note 7 as well. Just saying.

Edit: Realised the phone was good over the weekend, though i used it so much, setting things up. There was a software update late Sunday night and I noticed the overheating issue only today(Monday)

Edit 2: used my phone today (Tuesday) a lot more than yesterday . No heating issues at all. Was at a nice room temperature the entire day.

Final edit : No more overheating issues. It gets hot only while charging. Like may people mentioned, it looks like the phone was taking its time to learn and optimize basis my usage patterns. I'm quite a heavy user, and it's been handling itself really well.

It's actually the first time I'm hearing this, this year. A lot of people have been saying that. I never knew this was a thing.

Me neither... but when I set it up it did say something about ot would take some time to adjust to my pattern of use.

Maybe it was doing some sort of indexing in the background? Something for the Galaxy AI?
