I guess you can always claim it didn't overheat in a bag but I still think that storing a turned on laptop in a bag or sealing somehow its ventilation it's a misuse and it shouldn't be covered by the warranty.

I agree, but shouldn't any computer's bios power everything off if temperatures get too high?

My laptop from 2013 does. Found that out the "oh, shit" way more than one time.

Yes, but I guess in a sealed bag everything gets hotter and hotter, not only the CPU/GPU.
