Hard to say, other than learn how to look into symptoms; and gather clues.

"Resetting the system management controller (SMC) can resolve

certain issues related to power, battery, fans, and other features."


Stay cool: learn about the fans in your Mac and the operating temperature of Mac notebooks.

Also learn how Spotlight indexing might make the fans run.

Since power and batteries can create heat, after awhile the Mac gets settled in. But you need

to learn what to expect; & how to search helpful information, presented in Support site pages.


There's more, to help with troubleshooting the symptoms and toggle settings to see what helps.


Take care & happy computing!🌻🐝
