35ºC == 95ºF - I'm at the upper end of that range sometimes, but not exceeding it.
I typically work from a hammock, in the shade, until it gets to 90-95ºF. The throttling happens even when the temperature is in the range of 80-85ºF and CPU load make it much worse. It's not uncommon for me to have to seek air conditioning if I'm running a large test suite or rebuilding docker containers, else my machine throttles to the point that I can't even use Safari.
I've never had this problem with any other laptop I've owned, including previous generations of MacBooks and MacBook Pros.
