But keep in mind the phone will throttle charging speeds when it gets warm, so the battery doesn’t end up getting much warmer, it just takes forever to get a full charge (especially when using a thick case that puts further space between the charging coils and also acts as thermal insulation, thus reduces the phones ability to cool down)
Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones

It is still keeping the battery warmer which degrades it faster regardless if its being charged or not.

They tested that too, actually. Heat, I mean. It’s in a different one of the channels videos. It’s easy to find, since the channel only has like 10 videos and only a few are about phones .

That makes sense but has it actually been tested?
