Battery overheat [ New ]

[rapidpeak77]

I just purchased my GoPro 7 Black as an upgrade from my GoPro Hero. After placing the 7 Black on top of my bicycle helmet the system shut down after 30 minutes of recording time. When I pulled over to inspect the camera the system was very hot, almost too hot to touch. I never experienced this with my Hero system and recording times on a full charge lasted an hour. I am a bit displeased so far considering I just purchased this last week. Is there a solution? I noticed several other concerns regarding battery over heating and unexpected shut down due to overheating.

What resolution were you shooting in? What features were turned on? What was the temperature outside? What time of day was it? What SD card (Make/Model/Size) are you using?

Did you keep it on some extra case at the helmet while rolling ? 4k/60 fps should record constantly 57 minutes in 25C/77F (my test)
