MacBook Pro 2018 Thermal Throttling or Major Overheating Issue

Hello everyone!

My laptop is only about a year old; I have a MacBook Pro late 2018 with the following specs:

• 13-inch
• 4 Thunderbolt three ports
• 2.3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
• 8GB of memory 2133 MHz LPDDR3
• Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 1536MB
• Currently updated to macOS Catalina Version 10.15.6

Now with all of the fun stuff out of the way, here is my situation. I had brought my MacBook into Apple about 3-4 times before COVID started for the past year that I've owned it for a thermal throttling and overheating problem. I'm aware that MacBooks aren't the best at regulating airflow, but there were moments where my laptop would be so warm I couldn't type on it, and I could cook an egg on my laptop keyboard. I always use it on a hard, steady surface such as a desk or table, and it continuously did this. When I brought it the first time, they replaced the fans and redid the circuits that hold the Touch Bar in place. They also put in a new motherboard thinking that could have been most of the issue along with the fans. So they did a lot of work. The second time around, it came back, and they said it was okay but changed the fans again. After the second time, things seemed better for about two months.

It is important to note that I don't use my MacBook for anything too intense. I know that MacBooks aren't for gaming, so I use mine mainly to do things inside Safari. I'm a teacher, so I put together documents and do everything I need to do through Microsoft programs, Google Drive, and websites. But even with just one or two tabs open, it continuously heats up now. Once a month, I wipe out my MacBook and erase everything and do a factory reset, so malware doesn't pile up and become even more sluggish. I have tried everything! My MacBook continues to overheat or have thermal throttling issues every time I've sent it in. They continuously put that white glue to make temperature regulate easier throughout the laptop. My friend, who has a MacBook Air, hasn't experienced any overheating or throttling issues, and it's a 2018-2019. This doesn't seem normal to me. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I seriously don't know what else to do; please give me some suggestions. If not, suggestions should I again send my laptop back in? I didn't want to do this again because I use it every day, but I will if needed.

Anything on this issue would be appreciated.

I appreciate any help you can provide.
