Small grow tent is too hot?

I have a 24x36x53 grow tent, located inside that gets too hot, 85. I run the lights at night. Have a Cloudline S4 intake and a T4 exhaust. I have an additional 3” fan for circulation. It is not possible to have an a/c outside the tent. Any suggestions on how to keep it cooler

Absolutely, I have a bedroom where my Grow Tent and Closet are located, all exhausted outside, same setup but inline 6 inches, I have a WI-FI AC window unit that keeps the room cold during lights on so the heat exchange maintains proper temperatures, with the WI-FI AC I have it set to run at 70 during the day and 78 at night (mostly keeps itself off) Your GG4 is in seedling stage so 85F is at the high end but not extreme, looking at your grow I would try to get your Humidity up to 55/70% during the seedling stage of your growth. With decent airflow, you are ok, higher than 85 could get bad, hope that helps.

i think you are moving enough air, so that won't impact it more than you already do. more efficient lights more space had some initial heat issues in 3x3x70 tent with soem inefficient lighting. Moved those lights into a larger box with ~20" more height and more volume of air in general and that eliminated the problem. Replaced the lights with efficient LED and now i have cold temp issues in winter, lol... both of these tactics work well.. unfortunately they likely cost money. evaporative coolers might help a few degrees, and raise humidity, if that's not a problem. those are fairly inexpensive but not too effective. if you can duct some cool air into tent or place an ac inside it, you are limited. can you cool the room itself, if small enough?
