Mitigating limited service in multi-sim mode due to temperature rise

An apparatus for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• at least one processor and a memory configured to:
• detect, while operating in a multi subscriber identity module (SIM) mode with at least a first subscriber (SUB) and a second subscriber (SUB) active on a first radio access technology (RAT), that a temperature of the UE has reached a first temperature threshold less than a second temperature threshold at which the UE limits service in the first RAT and greater than a third temperature threshold associated with a temperature mitigation level;
• and
• take action to move the first SUB to a second RAT in response to the detecting, wherein the at least one processor and a memory are further configured to take action to move the first SUB back to the first RAT if the temperature of the UE falls below a fourth temperature threshold, wherein taking action to move the first SUB to the second RAT comprises performing internal redirection of the first SUB from a cell of the first RAT to a cell of the second RAT based on one or more databases maintained at the UE.
