Will the Steam Deck warn me if I'm driving it too hard?

I notice the fan going pretty hard all the way through my gaming sessions. I'm curious if the Steam deck will warn me before I do damage to the machine?

There should be a warning since SteamOS v3.3: https://store.steampowered.com/...

Yup, I got to see it once running Horizon Zero Dawn. It looks a bit like the "low battery" warning but in more scary colors if I remember correctly.
