overheating
Running too hot
Overheating is becoming too hot, whether literally or figuratively.
An engine overheats when its cooling system fails.
An economy overheats when rapid growth triggers inflation.
A person overheats from exertion or fever.
The term often implies crossing from acceptable warmth into dangerous territory: My laptop keeps overheating during video calls.
