Macbook M1 Battery Issue (Charging Slowly, Heating Up)

Hi, I've MacBook Air M1 with 57 charging cycles and 97% battery health.

Yesterday my MacBook got really hot even though I was just reading a pdf book, so I checked activity monitor and it said Spotify was consuming energy, I'll attach screenshot, so I deleted Spotify and did a safe boot, updated my Mac OS 11.5 to 11.6, but the Mac was still heating up

Now my Mac charges slowly says 2 hour 11 minutes to charge even when its at 50% plugged in as well as battery temperature which is normally at 35 degree Celsius and plugged in it is 39 C, I also can feel warmness on my Mac.

What to do? all happened in a single day.

though I quit Spotify but it went from 85 to 90 then 95 at 12h power consumption (though I already force quit) and it was in shade on activity monitor (meaning not actively running) but it was still increasing in 12 hour units

Unfortunately all the screenshots were in my MacBook and my MacBook simple died past week all of a sudden, it just simply went dead, bricked and wouldn’t power on.

its with an apple authorized service provider under repair.

please check the first few comments, I’ve posted a coie of relevant screenshots

Could you post a screenshot of the CPU section of Activity Monitor?
