Iphone Needs to Cool down Error After updating to IOS 27

I have been facing "Iphone Needs to Cool down error message" quite frequently even when my phone is on idle or cool. This issue started coming when I updated my 15 Pro Max to IOS 27. It's been 4,5 days now and all indexing and background processing are complete, but the issue of the error msg still persist.

I read in community like hundreds of people facing this issue.

Some suggest to downgrade to previous IOS version.

I'm seeking guidance what should I do now, should I downgrade or keep waiting till the next update? as this issue is sooo constant like it comes after every few minutes, and when I'm using it it completely stops the action like I can't call. can't use it.

If you guys recommend me to downgrade then how to do it safely without losing any of my data.


You Help will be highly appreciated.

What is the battery health percentage?


Settings > Battery > Battery Health


iOS doesn’t have a downgrade mechanism.
