iPhone 15+ Battery Swell/Backglass break

My iPhone 15 plus has a battery that I am pretty sure is swelling and causing my back glass to pop off and break. Any solutions until I upgrade?

Turn the phone off IMMEDIATELY and if possible, put it in a metal container as the phone is now a fire hazard. DO NOT use it until you get a new phone, which means your time to upgrade has moved to IMMEDIATELY.
