Switch in docked mode stops charging after some time on

[ShinRaikdou]

Switch v1 (Erista), FW 16.0.1, Atmosphere 1.5.1

I've noticed that my Switch stops charging battery when I play in docked mode (different games). Usually it takes 15-30m before it stops.
Tested through Status Monitor Overlay and DRAW drops from ~2.0w to 0.0w.
Removing Tesla and SaltyNX related stuff doesn't help either.

This isn't normal, right? I can't find any relevant info why it happens.

Have you testing if this happens in OFW?

It's harder to test without Status Monitor Overlay, but yes, this also happens on OFW.

I forgot to mention, I'm trying to charge it in 75-100% battery range.
If I remember correctly, my PSVita also never get past 85% range when I charged it while playing. Maybe it's related to some protection from overheating?

You have battery temperature in Battery/Charger tab of status monitor.

And yeah - SoC temperature is higher than what it should be. I recommend changing thermal paste.

What is the average temperature for docked games with ~99% GPU load on Erista?
I already changed thermal paste back in November on MX-4. "Remnant" is the only game on my system that has that 63-66 temperature in docked mode for some reason (51°C in handheld cuz 460mhz). XC3 or DQ11 for an example usually has it around 58-61°C.

Good hint

Spoiler

I captured exact moment when it stopped charging, and apparently it's 51°C for the battery.

Also, after some much more testings, that only happens in demanding/bad optimized games. "Digimon World: Next Order" has the same issue, but Xenoblade 3 or some pixel indie games does not.

So maybe that is indeed is overheating.
If anyone noticed same issue please tell me, since I'm a little worried about what I should do.
