Power Cycling = Limp Mode?

06 RSX Type S, End User Ecu, #2 Reflash
Last night after work, I got into the car started it up and immediately shut it off because there was something in my glove box that I had locked in there with the key. So I shut it off, unlocked and then restarted the car. The entire drive home I was limited to 3500rpm and a very long drive at 65mph. The engine was cutting out above 3500.....
I noticed today, when I fired it up there were no codes, and it ran fine. I was able to rev past 4000rpm with no issues.
One thing I did notice, sitting there in the driveway, was that when I was connecting to the ecu, I was having trouble connecting because I was not waiting for the ecu to FULLY "click off" and then retry. Once I figured this out, it connected and displayed all the data....
Could this have been what triggered my limp mode last night? That quick cycling?
