Default C7 TPMS speed limited

I’m was just looking to confirm with Tadge that if you are running lower then 26psi of rear tire pressure the car will then be speed limited. I was looking to get better off the line launches so I lowered my rear tires to 23psi. I then did a datalog and right at 100 mph the throttle cut to 42% even though I was still 100% on the accel pedal. I also have read about a so called “Easter Egg” hidden feature to defeat this issue by putting the E brake on then clicking the center mode button 6x within 5 seconds. The TC button then flashes to confirm.
