I noticed my 2019 MacBook Pro physically hot to touch even after being idle for 8 hours at night. Now I unplug my USB-C monitor and USB-C-to-USB-A adapter at the end of the day and that has solved the problem. Now when I come to the machine in the morning, it is nice and cool, and I plug-in my peripherals again. It seems Apple has noticed this sub-par pro performance and moved back to the MagSafe charger in the latest pro models. Also, for the cynical among us, I would like to point out that each issue I've had with a MacBook, Apple has fixed for free. Don't assume they wont fix it until you take it to the Apple Store and ask.

Was there an Apple Store response for the overheating / overnight-charging problem?

I didn't ask them about the heat issue since I attributed the issue to my cheap non-Apple adapters. Issues they've fixed for me for free: broken back-plate on the old 2010 white unibody macbook, as well as a stuck key on keyboard of 2018 Macbook Pro.

My late-2020 MacBook Pro also stays warm (even hot, sometimes) while supposedly sleeping. It can also no longer charge on the right side, that just stopped working. Had to rearrange my desk to satisfy the power bugs on the laptop.

Quality has gone way down, I don't quite see myself ever getting a Mac laptop again, after being on OSX laptops ever since OSX 10.0 came out.
