Welcome to Android Central! Which device do you have? Do you have any 3rd party battery monitor apps installed?

Games can cause a device to heat up significantly, so if you have some battery monitor function or app set to warn you and possibly close apps when you reach a certain temp, that could be causing your issue. Or the device might be heating up abnormally high--does it feel pretty hot?
