Can the oil change due warning put the motor in limp mode?

I was called out because the DF250 was sounding an alarm, had an oil pressure light and would not go to full power. Knowing it had an oil change last fall and the oil on the dipstick was full and clean, I performed the oil change light reset. The light and alarm went away but I didn’t take the boat out for a test drive because the wind was blowing strong and I don’t particularly enjoy slamming boats through big whitecaps or maneuvering that big pontoon in the tight area they keep it when it’s calm. Sitting here this evening, I am wondering if the boat is fully functioning again.

Oil pressure and oil life are not the same. I have heard of Suzuki outboards having oil pressure switch issues
