My HTC One M7 is running hot and the battery is draining fast, what should I do?

[AC Question]

my HTC One M7 is running hot and the battery is draining fast!

My HTC one m7 is 8 months old (a replacement for a previous handset that died). The last few weeks it has started running really hot to touch and the battery is only lasting about 4.5 hours from fully charged.
I turn off all apps that are running in the background and it still does the same thing.
Help! - I cant go anywhere far from a charger..

Welcome to Android Central.

It could simply be that the battery is failing and needs to be replaced.
