1. An electronic device comprising:
a temperature sensor;
at least one processor; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to:
determine a distance between a user's contact position with respect to the electronic device and a position at which the at least one processor is positioned in the electronic device;
adjust a first temperature threshold value based on the determined distance, wherein the first temperature threshold value is lower according to a decrease in the determined distance and higher according to an increase in the determined distance;
based on a temperature value detected by the temperature sensor exceeding the adjusted first temperature threshold value, determine whether a condition is satisfied, the condition being related to at least one of a flexible state of the electronic device, or whether a cover case is mounted on the electronic device, or the distance between the user's contact position and the position at which the at least one processor is positioned;
based on the condition being satisfied, operate according to a first clock level corresponding to the temperature value for heating control; and
based on the condition not being satisfied, operate according to a second clock level higher than the first clock level,
wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to, after operating according to the first clock level or the second clock level:
identify that the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor exceeds a second temperature threshold value, which is greater than the first temperature threshold value;
based on the condition being satisfied, operate according to a third clock level corresponding to the temperature value exceeding the second temperature threshold value, the third clock level being lower than the first clock level.
