Please see this post in another thread reporting a similar problem.


It is possible one of your apps may need updating to be fully compatible with Big Sur. Check the App Store for updates.


Launch Activity Monitor on your MAcBook and look at the CPU and Energy pages. You might be able to see one of the apps using more than expected CPU or energy, which will tell you who is causing the heat problem and needs to be updated or removed
