Check in device care for battery usage. This will usually show which service or app is using more battery power. Also closing all apps and restarting device helps.

When a phones starts to overheat it becomes a dangerous device and there is some kind of battery issue. I would contact Samsung Customer service for assistance or if you have insurance with your phone carrier send it in and get it fixed or replaced.

While they may feel warm under certain conditions, like charging, this does not affect the device's lifespan or performance. However, if your devices get too warm, it could cause some issues.
