Battery overheat warning?

hi - I’m new to drones, and practicing flying virtually via Litchi app with my mini2.
After about 15 minutes connected to the aircraft and running a “mission” I get a message “warning: camera chip overheating, turn it off” (or similar).
There’s no warning in the manual that I can see. Can I assume it’s just because there’s no air cooling as the aircraft isn’t actually flying? Or is there a limit to how long one can actually video for during a flight?
Info appreciated, as I’d hate to blow the thing up…

I’d guess it’s due to no airflow when not flying - try it with a fan blowing over it

What a good idea - I’ll give that a try. Thanks

It can kill itself keeping up to date? Crikey. I know how it feels …

These little drones warm up quite quickly as battery and components are all tightly packed - the fan idea is good or put it on a garden table / balcony in the shade if you can which would help.

The browser extension looks good. I’ll give both that and the shady wall a go;and meanwhile I’ll be a bit more aware of the heat issue. Thanks.
