The cap attaches to the back of the drive, but will block that hole, so it can't be attached if e.g. it's attached to a lanyard and loseable.
I also put it in the freezer for a few minutes first to cool it down to test if it would help the thermal throttling (might be a bad idea due to moisture, but at that point it didn't really matter). After taking it out, pulling the USB plug lightly pulled out the entire chip from the housing, likely due to weak glue.

I haven't needed to buy a new thumb drive since my I think decade old "SanDisk Extreme USB 3.0 64GB" and 15 year old "4GB SanDisk Cruzer Blade" both still work. Someone send me a few bucks and I'll try seeing if those survive an entire day in a freezer 😅 (I think they would).
Theoretically they should, as long as moisture doesn't get caught inside and corrode anything or the solder joints crack AFAIK.
Anyways, I still generally recommend SanDisk for flash storage (apart from their recent failure fiasco for specific portable SSDs). Just purchased a 2TB portable SSD from a deal that isn't supposed to have the issue so we'll see. Samsung is good too, though I have much less experience there.
To add some more anecdata, my 10 year old SanDisk 500GB Extreme Pro SSD still works. I had one of the very first Kingston 64GB SSDs and that died suddenly.
Thinking back, I think all of those above have been purchased via an SD deal, haha
I also have a 15 year old SanDisk USB SD/microSD card reader that still works. But maybe the Western Digital acquisition has made SanDisk worse, shrugs.
At least they mention it in the overview section. "C175 USB drive is using USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.0/3.1) interface."
I have since fell in love with nvme enclosures and putting nvme drives in there. Way faster. More reliable and more storage.
