[Elecraft] KPA1500 reduces power as it gets warmer?

I note my KPA1500 drops power at its temperature rises...
Using FT8, so a relatively high duty cycle.
Say I start at a heat sink temperature of 27 C, and 1,000 watts out; by
the time the temperature is at 65 C, the power has dropped to 893 watts out.
I have a couple of questions about this (not a complaint by the way):
1. Does anyone else experience this?
2. Is it normal?
