It happens rarely, but I will notice either my phone or the charger getting pretty toasty randomly. What could be causing this?

It's called adaptive charging.

It's Pixel-specific. OP didn't say which phone they have

It also has to be enabled first

My OnePlus also does that

Yes, it has a similar feature called Optimised Charging that's OnePlus-specific

Stock Android and Samsung OneUI don't have the feature, and as far as I know, there are no other brands that have it either
