iPhone 15 Plus pauses charging at 80% due to temperature, then resumes slowly

Hello, for the past six days, during charging, when it reaches 80%, I receive the notification "charging was on hold due to iPhone temperature."

After that, it takes 5-10 minutes to reach 81% and then continues charging normally.

I should mention that the battery health is at 100% and that the first use was in October 2024.

Also, the temperature in the country where I live has risen to around 32 degrees in the past week due to summer.

Additionally, I should note that I have the original charger and that charging has been done using a power strip since I first bought the phone.

Is there any solution to this?

When your iPhone pauses charge it is entirely normal as your iPhone has gone beyond its normal operating temperature, which evidently happens when charging as it has to exert more heat. This helps your battery's longevity as heat can further exacerbate battery aging. There is nothing you need to do about this message.

Yes, I use the 20w charger, but I found it surprising that it never showed me this message before and suddenly it appears every day. Of course, the weather has gotten much warmer.

That could be a factor. It also can be unpredictable, if your iPhone is charging from a low amount, it will definitely speed up charging and cause more heat exertion and this message. If it is close to 100%, it will slow charging and you may not even see the message at all.

You may not see it every time you charge your phone. But when you do see it, it is NOT cause for concern, that's the main point. Your phone is doing what it was designed to do, so worrying over a normal feature is a waste of worry.
