I'm running Ubuntu 23.10 and for some reason, I'm seeing this message because the operating temperatures are too high:

Performance mode temporarily disabled due to high operating temperature.

performance mode being disabled

This is kind of odd to me because it wasn't there before and I can assure you that my temperatures are not too high. See below the output of some relevant commands:

This seems like a false positive to me and I'm not sure exactly how to fix it. Maybe some config file somewhere got borked by a system update. I'm also noticing that even though my screen will blank, it doesn't actually turn off either and I read this is an artifact of Performance Mode so I thought they might be related issues.

How can I fix this issue?
