Over Heating

I bought MacBook Air(16,512) last month. It heats upto 101°C. First time was with 4k YouTube video in Brave Browser and 2 pdfs and notion in background. And now it randomly heats upto 70 with 1080 YouTube video (in any browser). I don’t know if its just my unit or this is common.

I was coding and made a infinite while loop and this piece of s**t reached 101°C .At the time of this picture battery was 80 but at 4:05 pm its now 62 percent .Below image is at that time.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.3

A Mac will automatically reduce its performance to keep itself within acceptable thermal limitations. If it fails to do so, it will simply shut down on its own. If it is not shutting itself down, then it is not overheating.

Silicon-based life forms can tolerate heat that would be fatal to inferior beings.
