Yes....Limp mode can be caused by any number of things. It usually involves a sensor that is not outputting enough of a signal, or one that is out of range. The ECU sees this and decides it is not happy with allowing the engine to rev above XXXX RPM's with that particular sensor value where it is.

It's either a Glitch or a genuine problem. Re-boots fix the glitches..
