This morning, I took my Switch out of the dock, which itself was in my travel bag, and noticed that the system was rather hot. I saw a notification that the game card had been removed, and realized that it got so hot that the game card popped out. Thankfully, I had already saved my game (Disgaea 1 Complete).
It probably overheated because it remained on in your bag (as opposed to in sleep mode), not merely because it was charging. I made that mistake once and the console was pretty damn hot when I pulled it out.
@VoidofLight I actually leave it in front of the fan when I finish before charging it. If it’s docked I face the fan towards it. Same worries after seeing images during launch of distorted systems.
@Silly_G Yes, so I am no longer leaving it in the travel bag.
@Severian I usually turn my Switch off fully when I'm done playing it. Helps save battery life that way. I remember seeing a warning like that in my carrying case, it said to not keep your Switch on when you're putting it in. Good thing you saved your game!

AKA MarioVillager92. Ask if you want to be Switch friends with me, but I want to get to know you first. Thanks! ❤️
@Snatcher I'd advice against leaving electronics under pillows, bed covers, cushions, futons, or other soft hiding spots, since anyone could go sit or canon ball knee-first into them without knowing/remembering there's something expensive under there.
