I don’t think heat alone could account for what you describe. It’s not normal!
A reed that is too old could behave in this fashion. Similarly a reed that is too soft/collapsed might feel ok when initially soaked but then give up the ghost as it returns to a normal turgor. Even a newer reed of appropriate strength and opening can still turn on you if you construct (or test) your reeds in a space that is more humid than where you perform. Finally, all of these issues will be exacerbated the longer you play: You may be more able to hold such a reed open with your embouchure when you are fresh but be less able to do so when you are a little more fatigued.
Good luck!
