Power steering overheating

Currently at thunderhill for a track day, in between lunch. At the end of my fourth session i got an error saying “increased force on wheel” drive moderately. The wheel seemed to have lost power steering and got the wheel icon in dash. I browsed a few posts related to this but there wasnt alot of info. I sat out a session and the error has gone away and everything seems fine now. It is 100+ outside and climbing. I was in comfort steering all day. The wheel was hard to turn but after cooling down it is normal now.

Seems the power steering unit overheated? Anything to worry about? Anyone have more info or experience this? Should be fine once it cooled down?
