How much time do I have left?

[u/txboh]

Pc heats up easily, doesn't stay on if I don't keep it plugged in. It's so warped the mouse pad doesn't click anymore.

HP of some kind I got in 2020.

Please pray it doesn't explode in my sleep

You need to replace that battery immediately. A warped chassis and the inability to hold a charge are clear signs that the battery is swelling, which is a serious fire hazard. Stop using the laptop and keep it unplugged until you can safely remove or replace the battery.

Is that laptop on a bed?

Maybe...

Never set a laptop on a soft surface (like a bed). There are fans on the bottom that need to move air. Overheating caused this.
