had two batteries "explode" (ballooned ¹) because of this, then I switched to another phone and knock on wood the battery has not yet exploded (about 2 years).
¹ This is probably why you should not cut off the battery plastic sealing like some DIY guides tell you to do, it's probably there for a reason.
I have a quite kiss solution for this I gess It is a low level / harware solution that should solve th issue : a plug timer (https://www.amazon.com/s?k=plug+timer&crid=3ORDWNDPTFJC4&spr...)
Trades one problem for another. Now you are cycling the battery frequently which is going to do the same thing in the end.
As I understand it it's better to just leave the battery plugged in and floating.
I do that for a charging-station of old phones that I like to keep around for ... things.

Wait, what? What is the purpose of that advice?
