iPhone 12 overheating

My phone is the regular iPhone 12, a couple months after I got it I noticed that it was getting ridiculously hot with light use such as watching videos or playing simple games. I took it to the Apple Store and got it replaced everything except the screen and cameras, for the past couple months it has been ok. Now it’s happening again and I think there has to be some kind of battery or logic board issue. My battery is at 99% original capacity so it’s not that. I noticed that it only happened after the first 1% of battery wear. Anyone else experiencing this?

Is it triggering the temperature warning and shutting the iPhone down? If no it isn't getting hot it is just very warm. If you are using the internet with a weak signal and streaming something playing a game, etc. it will warm up at times.

No warning is good and it is typically normal. The phone is designed to let heat from use escape thru the case. See If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch gets too hot or too cold - Apple Support

It hasn’t triggered the temperature warning but it gets uncomfortable to hold and it is probably damaging the battery.

My phone tends to dim the screen and I have noticed that it just starts freezing up so I really don’t know if I should be worried.
