That is almost always a hardware problem, and the most common causes are water damage or a failing battery.

The one exception is if it has been in a very hot location, such as in the sun, a sauna or similar.

I have the same issue with my three-year-old iPhone 13. It’s unusable, even to just read emails.
I’ve already tried to replacing the battery as Lawerence suggested, and it didn’t help. Same issue within a few minutes. Interestingly, it happened the day after I upgraded to 27.0.1. Which version are you on?
I’ve seen more complaints about this issue very recently, not just yours and mine. Is that a coincidence?

No I have seen quite a few in the Forum. It doesn't apply to everyone or we would be flooded.
Report it https://apple.com/feedback and hope for a fix tomorrowish. .
