How do you guys deal with heat issues?

I recently bought a Pixel 8, and while I love it overall, the heating issues are frustrating. It gets noticeably hot during almost any activity:

• Phone calls: Warm to hot.
• Gaming: Extremely hot.
• Browsing: Uncomfortably warm.
• Hotspot + Browsing: Practically untouchable.

I’ve already tried all the common troubleshooting tips I found online, but the overheating persists. Does this improve over time, or is this just how the phone operates?
