What’s causing my MacBook to warm up when charging and lid closed?

Hi all

I have Macbook M2 Pro, With Macos 15.5 (24F74)


And periodically, when my mac is on power and with closed lid it gets warm. And it is pretty hard to force M2 to be warm.


In activity monitor, I can see that beautiful picture. Do you know what the issue could be?

I do not want to warm up the planet more
