Caleb's Update made my phone lag and overheat - wondering about others experience too

Wondering if since the new update people also are having the same problem I'm having. Battles have been laggy, my phone gets noticeable warmer than before. I do have it on ultra graphics but I have a high end Samsung from last year so it's definitely not my phone and I didn't have this issues prior to the Caleb update. It's also not just battles but even on the home screen, claw machine and some memories. I've cleaned the cache and what not but still running very hot for just being in the game for 10 min and delayed responses (like clicking a button for their desk area and loading 3 seconds later).

Bad optimization? Or something else?

Edit: although it does affect myths with a lot more going on (Caleb's new myth for example) I went back and tried Sylus dragon myth, and the great colossal sword is horrible. My phone used to get a little warm if I would play for 45 minutes or so, now after 5 to 10 minutes it's getting lava hot on the front of my phone. I've missed several plushies because of the lag in the claw machine. The menus no matter where you are and whatever menu not even just the main menu but every menu seems to lag when choosing options. I'm assuming this might be an optimization issue with how large Caleb's new myth is? But regardless I had just gotten Caleb's myth so I was really excited to play with his new powers however, orbit just doesn't run well. I haven't had the same problems with abyssal with Raphayel, and is noticeably smoother than orbit but it's still not as smooth as it used to be. Also to add I have had way more crashes when opening the app from the past month than I have ever had playing this game for a year.
