Default Advice needed on Cayman break in: Just a

quick question. I have a 2015 Cayman S with 1250 miles and am observing break in hints listed in the owners manual. However this morning I was in traffic and was trying to get around an 18 wheeler in traffic and gave it a bit more throttle than I usually use. Porsche recommends not to exceed 4200 for the first 2000 miles but I wound up going to around 4500 RPM while accelerating. I immediately reduced the RPM. This was the first time that I have ever exceeded 4200 RPM since I have gotten the car. These things love to rev and no, I was not in sport mode. The car was thoroughly warmed up and I assume I have no cause for alarm here, or do I?
Thanks as always, Pat D

You have damaged your car. You should give it to me.
