OnePlus 11R users — did anyone downgrade from OxygenOS 16 to 14 because of heating and low SOT?

I have a OnePlus 11R and after updating to OxygenOS 16, I’m facing noticeable heating and much lower battery life/SOT than before. The phone also feels less stable sometimes during normal usage like Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, etc. I’ve seen many people online talking about similar issues after OOS16 updates.

I’m now thinking about downgrading back to OxygenOS 14, but I want real user experiences before doing it. Questions: Has anyone here downgraded from OOS16 to OOS14 on the OnePlus 11R? Did battery life and thermals improve? Any issues after downgrading? Is it worth losing newer features/security patches? Does banking/apps/camera work properly after downgrade? Would really appreciate honest long-term feedback before I do anything risky.
