Default ESC problem :/

If an ESC cuts out after about 5 mins of use does that mean the motor is drawing too much current? My motor requires minimum 8.4v/ 30A continuous capacity, and this ESC exceeds that. It can handle 10 cells/30A, so I'm a bit confused. When it cuts out, all I need to do is throttle down to zero, the throttle back up again and it works, if only for a few moments or so. The ESC feels a bit warm after use, but by no means is it too hot to touch.
