New iPad Pro 13 inch M4 Overheating

My iPad Pro gets very hot while painting in Procreate within about 1/2 hour. My case I’m using is super thin. Center back and front is hottest points.

Same here, although not just with Procreate, even with Apple's freeform. It gets to the point where I can barely write on the screen, and then the apps start closing. I then decided to try the iPad Air. I had no issues, but I didnt like the Air, so I went back and changed back to the Pro and even with the new one, I'm having the same issues. I'm not sure if it's the new screen or the software issue, but Apple, please fix this!!

I have the same problem with files, notes. It feels like with apple intelligence they did not optimise the performance of these apps and they are drastically overheating. More often than not, files would just crash and I would lose all my annotations progress. Battery life is terrible and iPad becomes really hot. Fun fact, the iPad is actually cooler when playing games and watching videos than using files and notes. I'm on 11 inch ipad pro M4.
