Hello i just made build my first Raspberry pi4 (8Gb) build and i have run into a weird issue. When i Turn it off with (either via terminal or normal) it seems to keep sucking energy and stays warm. when i woke up today i held my hand over the case and i was very warm 40C~ my room temp is around 20C. I made sure to properly shut it down and check only letting the cable stay connected because i noticed the high temp yesterday after a shutdown and 2 hour period as well. The red LED also stays on idk if that helps. And temperatures while running are 40C-48C so basically the same.

Further information: Raspberry pi4 8gb, Latest 32bit version of raspian (installed via NOOBS), Argon One 40Case, network boot not enabled, Wlan connection,

The only way to "stop" the Raspberry Pi from running is to remove power. If you're supplying power through the USB-C connector, just pull that out. The red LED will go out, and you'll see it cool down then. :)

A bit different on RPi than many Linux boxes. Usually shutdown powers down, but that's not the case with Raspberry Pi.
