LiPo heating up on Semi

So this has been an issue for a bit now and I'm slightly concerned as to the consequences of continuing to use my rifle given the conditions.

I have a G&P 7.4V and 11.1V LiPo. My rifle is wired to GATE NanoASR (Non-AB) MOSFET on a Tienly 45000 Motor.

The issue arises on continued semi fire. After about 10-30 rounds on the 11.1V or around 100 rounds on the 7.4V, the LiPo begins to heat up (and the motor, but to a lesser degree) as well as the MOSFET (but only a bit.)

The LiPo heats up to the point where I can feel it through the grip of my Type 97, where I keep it inside the rifle. It's not uncomfortably hot, but it's pretty dang hot.

Does anyone know why this is? When the LiPo is not hot, the gun operates fine. But, as the LiPo gets hotter, the motor seemingly acts more powerfully and erratically; on the 7.4V, the motor shoots perfectly when the LiPo is cold, but begins to do two cycles or 1.5 cycles per trigger pull when the LiPo is hot.

I am completely out of ideas as to why my LiPo heats up. I haven't observed this phenomenon in Auto, but then again, I rarely use Auto so I don't know.

Any help would be appreciated.
