Noted Joe. Thanks.
How long was it in the bag before you found it in this condition?

sounds like a firmware bug, easily rectified with an update.

I know this feel! I left my M9 in my bag in the 'on' position all day and when I wanted to shoot, the battery was dead from taking a bunch of 30s exposures in my bag. 🙁
Getting extremely hot doesnt sound right though.

thinking about it...maybe the battery is bad...i had the original new battery, the 's' model in there.

what?
Simply set the camera to turn off automatically after 2 minutes. It's in the menu somewhere.
Your camera was on and probably trying to continually autofocus in a dark, insulated bag.

The camera was on and operating and autofocusing continually in the bag. So, yes, the OP was "using it" as far as the camera is concerned.

i don't like using that auto turn off...prefer to shut er down on my own...this has been a first time blunder on my part and hopefully the last time as well.

I wouldn't sweat it Joe. My Nex-7 has a message printed on the camera behind the flip down screen that says: The surface of the camera may get warm when the power is on for a long time. This is not a malfunction.
Use the auto off function and you'll be fine. Start up can't be that long that it'd be a problem for you while out shooting. Can it?
I have my auto off set and I still shut it down myself most times.

not really a problem...more of an annoyance...

Setting it to shut off after a time of not being used won't correct the problem if the problem was the shutter release being pressed inside the bag. That's because the camera is actually in use--that is, making a long exposure.
The camera can get hot with extended use. I've noticed my cameras getting warm in the battery area when shooting a lot of exposures in a short time. If the shutter is open--taking an exposure--for long enough to run down the battery, I'm sure the camera would get really warm. As I said above, it's happened to me more than once but the only result was a dead battery--no damage to the camera ever resulted.
Of course this would only happen if the camera is set to aperture priority.

One rainy day in Reims I put my E2, complete with 15mm soft release, under my jacket as we walked down the hill into town.
That night I downloaded One Hundred Sixty Seven (yes, 167) pics of the inside of my jacket. Nicely exposed, but blurry ... it was on Aperture Priority.
The fact we were returning from the Taittinger Champagne cellars may have been a factor.

Random overheating seems to be a uncommon but noted issue among the current generation of Fuji cameras. Might be the reason behind them adding the suffix "S" to the original NP-W126 battery - it has "more resistance" so possibly won't burst into flame easily if it gets too hot.
Be cautious, double check, should be fine.
At least you don't have to worry about the sun burning a hole in the cloth shutter curtain with this one.

I've used the battery from my X-T1 in my X-T2, as well as "Watson"off brand batteries - no noticeable heat (so far).

Why not? You can still shut it off on your own and this would have prevented your issue. Turning the camera on and off between shots is generally faster than waking it from sleep in my experience.

Unfortunately, I've found it's pretty easy to inadvertently switch on Fuji cameras when replacing or removing from the camera bag...at least it's pretty easy for me to do so.
