We are all Apple users, like yourself, in the community.
We do not know enough about your iPhone (iOS up-to-date?), the settings (low-power mode ?), whether it has a case or not, (metallic ?) the usual room temperature of your location, room ventilation, or the way you use your iPhone, etc. etc., to be able to say, or guess.
Apple Support's online article:
Batteries - Maximizing Performance - Apple
says:
"iPhone, iPad, iPod, and Apple Watch work best at 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C) ambient temperatures. Storage temperature: -4° to 113° F (-20° to 45° C)".
You may want to browse through the above article for more info.
Also: Important safety information for iPhone - Apple Support
says:
"If you suspect damage to iPhone or the battery, discontinue use of iPhone, as it may cause overheating or injury."
