Nintendo Switch 2 Automatically Disables Rumble After Prolonged Use

It appears that the Nintendo Switch 2 has a new safety feature disabling rumble after prolonged use, something that wasn’t included on Nintendo Switch.

According to multiple user comments, the rumble feature is turned off by the system after about a minute of continuous use, and the user is notified about this on a prompt at the top left corner of the screen, saying that “rumble has been turned off due to prolonged use”:

While Nintendo has not provided the reason for this, some speculate that this may serve two purposes – prolonged exposure to vibrations may be harmful to the user’s hands, so disabling the feature after continuous use can be beneficial for health, and the rumble motor may overheat if its used for prolonged periods of time, so this feature helps to keep the motor stable.
