My iphone 6s overheating and battery draining

I've looked on the forum and haven't as jet found a solution. My iphone 6s has just started rapidly overheating, showing the temp warning and draining the battery. If I start using it within minutes this happens. I've check the battery usage and analytics which seem OK. I've updated the latest iOS update. I've deleted apps recently updated and reset all settings. Nothing has worked. I'm reluctant to do a DFU restore as other comments mention this doesn't work either. Help

iPhone 6s, iOS 14

Generally Battery Health at 90% does not have to be replaced. Have the service center do a diagnosis first and identify that it is the battery before getting it replaced.

I know that you said that you have checked the battery usage and analytics however I am not sure what exactly you have checked. My response below may be something that you have already checked however just to be sure, here it is.

You may have a poor battery condition which cannot provide sufficient power for peak performance. What is the Battery Health of your iPhone? Open Settings ➔ Battery ➔ Battery Health and let us know which percentage you see for Maximum Capacity. Also note what is written under Peak Performance. If your battery's Maximum Capacity shows a value of 80% or less, then it has gone through its lifecycle and therefore should be replaced, according to Apple

It's 90%. I originally thought it might be the battery but thought 90% was OK. Thanks Axel F. I'm going to get the battery replaced to see if that fixes the issue.
