It happens rarely, but I will notice either my phone or the charger getting pretty toasty randomly. What could be causing this?

Also, depending on your habits, it's possible for your phone to rarely fast charge.

Android will intentionally slow charge if it seems like bedtime, and will aim to hit 100% when your alarm goes off.

It's called adaptive charging.

It's Pixel-specific. OP didn't say which phone they have

It also has to be enabled first

My OnePlus also does that

Yes, it has a similar feature called Optimised Charging that's OnePlus-specific

Stock Android and Samsung OneUI don't have the feature, and as far as I know, there are no other brands that have it either
