Well that code is for transmission sensor (temp) and would definitely put your car in limp.
You need to get it check if its a faulty sensor or something going on in tranny.
but 1000% i wouldnt be driving it , more so hard
just my .02

What should the transmission temperature be at after a hard drive ? Current cruising temp was at 240

Your Oil TEMP is WAY HIGH...
Limp mode is engineered for a reason, when the systems signal that something is happening that could cause damage to the engine/tranmission etc, it puts in limp so , you can get to a safe stopping point etc..
(not drive around and see if it goes away)

Why are you opening more threads for each question ??

It's a stored code , after restarting it everything went back to normal. Just trying to figure out where the trans temp for this thing should sit at.

The manual says @248 degrees (f) would be the limit.

Simply because the car reset itself out of limp mode after a restart doesn't fix what caused it to go into limp mode in the first place.

If your car went into limp mode even once, you need to have the car looked at to see what caused it. If it was that the transmission oil temps were measuring too high (240 is way, way too high), you need to have the dealer investigate why that's happening.

C63S AMG Coupe
2018 C63S here. I had a problem with high trans oil temps (went up to 259 deg), and never experienced the car going into limp mode and no fault codes Thankfully I always have the AMG display on so I can always see the boost and temps and caught it early. Turned out to be a leaking aux. charge cooler.

So I did have a fault code store in the system which I scanned before taking it to the dealer which was p2743
Here is what the service advisor is saying
"hi there, it appears as though the cooling system has been drained or opened up at one point. we will need to drain & refill the charge air cooling system In addition to bleeding it. it's not something i can cover under warranty & will be $225.00 + tax to do"
Is this a load of bs , because how can they tell if the system was opened or not .

You can easily tell if that cooling circuit is dry. Just look at the reservoir in the top/front of the engine near the turbos. There should be pink coolant visible in it. If not, you have a leak. And the leak more than likely is from a rock hitting the radiator. If so, it'll be another $1K-ish to replace the radiator.
Never had a low coolant warning or any leaks on the ground after driving the car.

I had it happen to me, and the circuit was dry before the next time I stopped after the rock hit the radiator. But there should be coolant all over the undercarriage. Pretty hard to miss.

There is no low coolant warning sensor on that cooling circuit. Your only warning is the trans temp reading on the AMG screen or an eventual CEL.

Yeah not a single drop on the undercarriage
we cannot find anything other than air possibly being in the system, there is evidence that the system has been opened up which is why we will have to start there
Lol dealers response, clearly a guess game even though the car had a fault code stored in it . This is ridiculous
