My Macbook pro was running quite hot. Had a zoom call for an hour while screensharing. On top of that had a lot of open apps etc. I never got a message that something was wrong. All of a sudden it shut itself down. Now I have the charging sign pop-up when trying to boot it up again. Its plugged-in, the cable is intact and worked everyday so far. However, its not showing me that its charging or anything.

Safe mode prevents your Mac from loading certain software when it starts up, including login items,
system extensions not required by macOS,
and fonts not installed by macOS. It also does a basic check of your startup disk,
similar to using First Aid in Disk Utility.
And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and the kernel cache,
which will be created again automatically as needed.

Did you manage to get your MBP working again?
I have the same model and have noticed it running hotter than usual since updating to Catalina recently.
I recommend using an app to monitor the temperature of your CPU cores etc. I’m experiencing 100 and even 105 degrees C sometimes when under load. Too hot in my opinion.
