The converter plugs are overheating because they are likely exposed to excessive heat or electrical stress.

In short, yes. Every plug and outlet has a specific limit known as a rating (e.g., 10A 240V). While some devices might handle higher currents temporarily, if the construction isn’t strong enough, it can fail. For example, using an adapter rated for 7A when something draws 10A will likely cause damage or a fire.
The information provided does not resolve the discrepancy between the plug's rating and the product title. The title mentioned is 10A, while the plug specifies 16A. You may need to verify the official specifications on the manufacturer’s website or documentation.
In my notes, it's up to 2A at most, and the device is only supplying power sporadically. I'm being quite lenient today.
