My drone is heating up unusually fast

I have a build based on the HDZero AIO5. Here are the components:
• Runcam HDZero LUX
• VCI 08028 27000kV
• Gemfan Triblade 40mm propellers
• M7 V4 frame
(and 4 WS2812 LEDs)

Yes, I know this flight controller gets very hot, but things have started to become completely absurd. In just one minute of flight (0:55, to be exact), my quad heated up to 100°C at an average current draw of 8–9A. I was not making any sharp maneuvers; I was just gently circling around the room and hovering in place. I could see the core temperature rising by 2–3 degrees every second, and that really scares me.

The VTX power is set to 25 mW, the ESCs are flashed to 48 kHz, the PID loop frequency is 4 kHz, and the gyro frequency is 8 kHz. I’m ready to answer any questions and provide any information if it helps solve this problem. Thank you very much, everyone.
