Does your pump have a run/start capacitor as if they start to fail the motor will draw more current in the windings and heat up. It will also definitely lose efficiency. Worth a look.

My pump is like at least 10 years old I bought it used and don't know anything about it but I do know it doesn't seem to struggle with providing enough flow for my tank

Could you send a picture if possible and maybe identify what type of ac motor it is?
