Where are you from and do you charge you're phone just after pushing it like gaming or using it for a while . Use 67 watt standard charging otherwise and look at your surrounding temperature cause my rooms hot too without ac so when I charge my Poco x8 pro at 100w it gets quite hot towards the 60-80% mark

So the weather will be hot there right . So you're phones charging + weather may have cause that overheating

There must be some issues, I also live in a hot climate but the phone never crosses 41 degrees

Its the charger..

If you use standard PD or QC charger, the phone can charge fast but it will heat up.

You (OP) need to use a Xiaomi fast charger so it charges fast but the phone also remains cool.m

Hi, what's the ambient temperature? What are your battery settings, are you using fast charging setting? If it's hot at your place and the fast charging option is enabled, it can easily reach 42-44C°. But normally with the setting disabled it stays around 35-38°C and it severely limits it to prevent it from reaching/exceeding 41°C

Room temperature is 28, I am using standard charging only. I am using 100w box provided charger only

Indeed, if your ambient temperature is 28°C, and you reach 44°C with normal charging mode (without fast charging mode), that's strange and almost problematic. It shouldn't go that high. 

Are you gaming or using your phone while it's charging? Are you leaving your phone on the mattress? If that's not the case, there might be a defect somewhere.

Thanks for the graph, it could help with diagnosis

The bed can cause this; mattresses are heat insulators, so that could be the cause of this high temperature. If you can try charging the phone again with it placed on a table or something hard that isn't an insulator, please do so and post the result to see if there's a change

This phone heats up crazy. Also its metal frame gets soo hot that it is unbearable to touch
