A Few Thoughts...
(Based on the screenshot you provided):
It might have been something in the background, and then when you powered off your system, it basically killed the applications. Multitasking is running many things at once (in this case: applications)
So, next time it appears to be overheating, take a snapshot of Force Quit... to see which programs are running. Quite possibly, you can run different programs at different times, when needed, to help prevent the computer from overheating.
To view Force Quit...
Uninstall Security Software - it was probably scanning in the background. Be sure to get the uninstaller form the Developer, and nowhere else. Elsewise it may be malware that would get installed.

“I have the same problem but it is specifically when using zoom, and uploading iMovie videos to youtube or my laptop. Seems like there should be an apple app to monitor and control this?”

Multitasking is the Culprit:
Zoom is Highly Unsafe at the Moment:
If this were me, I would stay off of Zoom. There is reportedly lots of hacking going on with it at this moment in time. If such is the case, an app might be running in the background that is unexpectedly consuming CPU Usage.
So, Two Thoughts:
A. Reset the SMC and your NVRAM:
Sometimes when changes are made to the system(i.e. updates), system configurations (i.e. for sound) become manipulated, technically. So, reset the SMCand NVRAM.
B. Scan for Malware:
Start with running a scan for malware, using Malwarebytes for Mac and remove what is found. Perhaps something was installed that made this occur. Remove what is found from the quarantine. Malware is short for: Malicious Software. It makes you computer act in a mislead manor

Please Rotate 180 Degrees:
Can you please rotate this 180 Degrees in Preview, and then insert the image correctly? That would help, making it easier to decipher the graphs. Thanks! :)
