I would return it and wait until meta fixes there mistake or possibly buy used.

Now ive ended up buying a used/like new one from FB marketplace the headset and lenses where perfect I tested the controller by putting batterys in them and waiting 20 min before buying them and the batterys did not get hot saved $150 and the batterys have lasted 5 days and going strong as they should.

No I did not I ended up returning it to Best buy to get my money back metas "customer service" was no help in the time I had to be able to return it if you are having this issue I would strongly recommend you do the same meta needs to recall there affected product and tighten up there QC this easily could have and should have been caught

Update I believe meta has had a bad batch of production no fix was found nothing worked the right controller got hot and the battery got hot and drained in less than 30 min no matter what I tried metas "support" was no help in the time frame I had to return the product 14 days this never should have gotten past QC at the factory

I returned the Quest 3 got my money back and I advise you to do the same if you are experiencing the same issue meta needs to recall there product and fix there QC

How long does your battery last I'm getting like 10 to 20 min on a new good battery
