That sounds to throttling for heating due to excessive load. Maybe the unlimited framerate even with vsync enabled is not handled properly. So try to set vsync to Triple Buffer and set the fps limit to 60*.
And in the case of Macbooks, I'd set the energy saving mode for gaming, the performance loss can be up to 20%, but it should avoid any throttling for overheating and have a less noisy gameplay. Overheating is not new on laptops, and even if for working what matters is the total time, for gaming IMO the average performance is preferable, so having an extra at first and falling later due to overheating is worse.
* If you notice choppy motion set fps to 61 instead 60. Seems that sometimes it rounds by default and doesn't fit. I.e. I have a display with VRR 40-60, if set fps to 40 it runs choppy, but if set to 41 runs nicely.
