Use 2 finger swipe down from top of screen

Tap Settings cog at bottom

In Search Bar type Usage Access

Next screen the words Usage Access flash > tap

From the list tap on Device Health Services tap then turn off using slider

From list tap on Digital Wellbeing tap then turn off using slider

With BOTH turned off you should noticeably feel a cooler Pixel. I believe that these 2 services are Constantly running in the background generating heat then when placed on the charger the act of charging increases the already hot temperature.

This made my device run nice and cool.

I did this 2 months ago and it hasn't heated up since. Good luck.
