Phone is overheating when taking 4K for any reasonable length of time

I'm seeing significant overheating problems when shooting video in 4K. 

4K video was the primary reason I bought the phone, and it appears it can't shoot 4K for any reasonable length of time.  21 mins is the longest recording time in 4K that I have got, but that was from a cold start. On a warm day, in regular stop/start use heat quickly built up, and my typical recording time limit was 5 mins. 

The camera app just shuts down saying it is too hot.
