8.6.1 is finally out for everyone else,
this is what Haemophilus on reddit had to say.

My guess is that some of the CPU/GPU intensive instructions might have been erroneously left running in background so with older iOS hardware, the output frame rate dropes to about 1 FPS and with more capable hardware the result is excessive heat and heavy battery drain.
Thanks @MAGICDAVESHROOM for confirming the problem is also happening on Android device as well, this pretty much also confirms when PopCap said 'things are heating up this summer' it means our gaming devices.... 👿
Ref. 11.6.1 update
I started the game on my iphone last night and there was a force update messgae appearing on the loading screen and there was no option to play the game with the old release. I guess the new arrangement now is forcing all players to update in order to get an option to play the game!
After a minutes or so, the App restarted and then an error message appears stating the patching was unsucessful.
At this point, I force closed the APP and it then restarted with the patching ending correctly at 100% this time. I now have the latest 11.6.1 on my iPhone and all seemed to be running normal so far, no slow down and no obvious excessive heat like the previous 11.5.1 release.
