This "issue" has been reported on pretty much most 888 phones out there
If I recall correctly oneplus 9 used to do the same and oneplus had to manually increase the thermal limit so the phone could record for longer duration at higher temps but under higher temps the phone still force closes the camera application though
I can't certify this though it's just my conclusion based after reading stuff on tech portals and community groups
But from what I understand oems have a thermal limit after which camera force closes and this has been reported mostly after snapdragon 865 and above probably a failsafe to prevent the devices from getting too hot
Phone while recording (4k 60) does get pretty hot outside even on my 845 by the way
And flagship socs with all it's powerful cpu, gpus and camera isps come at the cost of increased power consumption and higher thermals (referring to the comment above mine)

It is indeed an issue on most 888 phones, but not to such a serious extent. On the Zenfone 8 the 4k 60 feature is quite limited in normal conditions, say at room temperature, where I haven't been able to record more than 7 minutes. That, I don't mind that much. However, the 4k 60 is pretty much unusable outside in hot weather, where the camera shuts down after 3 minutes max. I guess it has something to do with the balance between power and thermals in such a small phone, which I can understand to a certain extent. But I hope a technical solution can be found to at least improve on the recording time before the camera shuts down. The quality of the 4k 60 footage itself is rather excellent, which seems like a waste and a shame if I cannot really record at that frame rate for a meaningful length of time.
