I already know what the error is.
when I play the game for a minute, cpu clock fall to 1244 mhz ( big cpu ) but temperature protection is off.
Finally, I found out that there was an error in governor ( interactive )
i changed hispeed_freq to 2ghz but cpu fall to 1244
where is a problem ?

What is the value set to ? If it is set to 1 change the value to 0 and save. However this may or may not work and will require any root explorer and the value will be reset on reboot.

If you are rooted, I would suggest installing a custom kernel and use any kernel modifying app from the store to modify the value safely.

This restriction is a thermal restriction to avoid damage to your battery/screen/etc.. if your phone stays above 65°C for long time it will definitely damage many internal components in the long run(the CPU/GPU/RAM usually handles higher temps but surrounding components will deteriorate especially the battery)

you can delete the thermal-engine.conf on system/etc and disable in kernel auditor the core enable, VDD and soc temp in thermal panel, reboot the phone and try, btw i recommend you make a backup of this files, in my case are 3(griffin, sheridan and sheridan-retcn), and dont forget enable "apply on boot" in kernel auditor

moto z has poor thermal protection. It is activated at 40 ° C. I can fix it.
Delete this files ....
SYSTEM / ETC
thermal-engine.conf
thermal-engine-griffin.conf
thermal-engine-sheridan.conf
thermal-engine-sheridan-retcn.conf

and problem solved.
