Ran Leviathan today for the first time in ages... years maybe. Got to Calus, teleported to shadow realm, made callouts, shortly after that my xbox powered off. Turned it back on and it said it was protecting itself from overheating. Rejoined my friends and tried again. Again, shadow realm, xbox powered off. Waited 15 minutes before turning Xbox back on. When turned on, it said it had powered off to protect from overheating. Rejoined friends, went into shadow realm, xbox powered off again.
We quit. Clearly it's not going to work.
I have logged thousands of hours in Destiny. This is the only time this has ever happened to me. What do I do about it?

It's definitely something to do with the teleporting. As there is loads of reports if you do a Google search. It also happened to me twice today when i ran it. Had to come out of the shadow realm & do throne

One person says that fallout 76 was able to patch their game to fix a similar issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/d4yo4d/borderlands_3_overheating_console_on_xbox_one_x/f0hyh2q/

Ran Leviathan again today, this time with a supplemental cooling fan plugged into the back. [url=https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084GNJ36D]This is the fan on Amazon[/url] My xbox overheated in the void realm / shadow realm again. First time, I went into shadow realm, and lasted long enough to do my callout from the symbol on his forehead. Then powered off. Then after rebooting, I changed assignments to stay in the throne room. At one point we were wiping, I died, but one guy was still in the shadow realm. I changed my camera over to watch him in there and my xbox overheated and powered off again. Same thing also happened to a teammate, but not only did he power off in the void realm, he also overheated and powered off while doing the final run at gauntlet. I guess I can try cracking the case open and seeing if there's any dust inside? Or, has anyone used a supplemental cooling fan that actually worked?

We ran Leviathan again on Sunday. This time, when all 6 of us went into the final gauntlet run together, both my xbox and another teammates xbox shut off due to overheating. I bought a supplemental cooling fan for the xbox one off of Amazon, but I didn't have it plugged in or turned on at the gauntlet encounter, so I don't know if it would have worked or not. I'm hoping to try it next weekend.

also try vacuuming the vents of your console of the dust.
-
temporary workaround is to teleport out right away.

Had the same happend to me yesterday, run 3x times just right after the 1st callout the xbox turns off, one of the instance a fireteam member, also with an X, had the same problem, booted exactly at the same time, with the same overheating message.

The answer is obviously that Calus is simply too hot for you and your console.

Im not on xbox but i can tell you overheating is not a game problem. Its a issue with the console overheating, you better clean the inside because letting your cbox overheat constantly will eventually kill it. As well make sure the vents (cant remember the exact name) arent covered so the fan is letting air flow
