Exhaust filter at limit drive to clean message

Hi, I have this message on the dashboard "Exhaust filter at limit, drive to clean", on my car Ford Focus ST-Line 2018, petrol, I searched online and it said that if I drive for 20-30 minutes, should be gone, which it did, but the problem is that after a week popped out again. And I noticed that appears on the dashboard when I drive uphill, and after a few minutes is gone. Also, I need to drive with a 2000 rev counter, and that's affecting my fuel consumption. Any advice you could give would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

    If it's a 1.0l early MK4 Focus take it to a dealer and ask them to update the PCM. That should fix it.

    If you don't mind sharing, how much did the PCM update cost?
