No idea... that's something to ask Canon.
Here's what I do know though... A buddy of mine filming a wedding with me two weeks ago. Shooting 4K60 of the bride getting ready before the ceremony with the R5. Camera shut down before we even made it outside to go shoot the ceremony.
We were filming in a very well air conditioned hall - below 70F. The camera was completely cool to the touch. Stopped filming. Done.
The camera has been a HUGE disappointment to filmmakers. I cannot overstress that enough. It is simply a complete failure for professional level event shooting. It might work for some things, but for me personally if I could not film a wedding with it without it overheating, I would not even consider it.

Clearly you just need to also buy an R6 so you can get reliable 60p albeit at 1080.
If people need more evidence of Canon's intentional market segmentation at the expense of utility: Canon produced the R5, and R6 simultaneously. You *cannot get* BOTH reliable 4k and reliable high frame rate video from *either camera*. If you want to be a Canon hybrid shooter and want reliable full frame 4k and reliable 120fps 1080p, you have to buy both the R5 and the R6.
R5 can have reliable 4k30/24 non-HQ recording. However, it overheats in all 60p and 120p modes due to being limited to capturing in 4k. Why in the world would it limit you from capturing 1080p HFR?
R6 has no reliable 4k30/24 recording period. However, it can be used 1080p120 and 1080p60 without overheating concerns.
4k120 wasn't even a thing on hybrid cameras until a few months ago with the 1DXIII, most users would have been completely fine shooting the R5 at 1080p120 or 1080p60 when it "overheated" in the 4k120 and 4k60 modes. But they can't do that. At least, not without buying additional cameras.
Canon may remedy this with firmware, it's true. But I suspect they will only do so due to the A7s III being an astonishingly good video first hybrid camera, and not because they feel it is the right thing to do for their customers. If that were the case, they would have just added it in the first place.
