Immanent drive failure usually build that much heat up in a drive. Probably metal particles in the gear lube will get in the bearings and build up on the rollers and the races, which then causes the preload pressure on the bearings to increase and extra friction.
I would suggest a tear down of the drive and inspection before you destroy it by continuous running.
