Battery sucks?

Got the s26 ultra 2 days ago. Every time I plug it in, it overheats and slows down the charging. Used a Samsung 45W charger on my way home for work in the morning (working overnights) and when I plugged it in, it charged at normal speed, got hot and then slowed down. And when I got home the phone never cooled down. I went to bed at like 65% battery and when I woke up about 5 hours later, the phone was dead. Did I get a dud? This doesn't seem normal at all. I've asked a few different AI about it and they say that it can be normal for the first few days but this seems insanely excessive. Anyone else have issues like this to start? I'm not going to baby this phone with taking my case off and then turning it off to cool down every time I charge it. That's ridiculous for a brand new phone like this. My s25 ultra never had these issues, even in the beginning. Very frustrating, I was looking forward to this phone. Any insight?

Edit: so far it seems like this mainly only happens on the 45W chargers.
