No. What you're seeing is NOT overheating. What you're seeing is completely normal and what all of the new iPhones from iPhone 17 models do when you use a fast charger, which is anything from 20w or higher. The phone will rapidly charge to the 80% range and then pause charging to ensure the battery does NOT overheat.
I'm sorry it's concerned you, but there is absolutely nothing wrong and your phone is charging as it was designed to charge.
Just so you know, when an iPhone actually overheats, it displays a red thermometer on the screen.

Of course you're running iOS 27. Your phone came with it. That's not the issue. And even if your phone paused charging at a lower percent, it's still NOT overheating. If you don't want this to happen, use a charging brick which is lower wattage. Fast charging a battery generates heats naturally. You can slow charge your battery at say 15w and it won't generate as much heat.
There is NOTHING wrong with your phone.
