I've been using it for months with my 13 Mini and while it's a great battery this feature can't be turned off and is cumbersome when doing a lot of video calls as it drains the battery quite fast and the battery won't charge because it's "too hot" (most of the time it's far from it imo).

Are you sure about that? It is quite damaging to both batteries if they kept charging and increasing their heat even more. Video calls do generate a fair amount of heat. Disabling such a safety feature would be rather unwise.

Yeah it could be 5°C or less outside but the tiny bit of heat will stop the magsafe battery from charging. I didn't try FaceTime tho I mostly use Line.
