I noticed my phone running a bit warm todayx.so checked the battery usage and Liftoff seemed be a bit high. Clicking on Liftoff from this screen, it set for Optimized usage. I have v0.10.10 installed from Play store.

The percentages are not the percentages of total battery loss, they are the total amount of time active for the amount of loss you have had. As far as I understand it.

Ie: You have lost ~15% battery, but the total number of % listed is in the 50% mark. (+ All the system apps)

A new Android security update came out. Maybe it was installing it in the background? Maybe you had low wifi signal and do your phone has to use more power (and generates heat) to connect.
There are many reasons why a phone can get hot. Can't trust those battery numbers unfortunately

Did you reply to the wrong post?

Nope. I'm surprised OP is not being lambasted by the community for using Chrome.

Works for me

I'm still on 0.10.6 though, maybe try clearing the apps cache/data? If that doesn't work you can always get older versions from apkmirror
