So I am happy with that, only charged me $140 for materials and diagnosis which is not terrible IMO considering they were perplexed for a couple days with it. [This is all at a third party Chevy dealer]

The back story, about a week or so ago prior to this incident, the same symptoms showed up. Angrily called dealer I bought it from they told me to bring it in. Was then told their tech flushed and refilled the DEF, fine, all the codes were gone I was happy. I wrongly assumed that they actually did the ****ing work they claimed, but, lesson learned.

And yes, super embarrassing to have the tech explaining how I need to fill the DEF every oil change
There is a level sensor with a display on the DIC, not sure if you saw it. It will say "DEF Fluid Level OK" until 33%, then it will decrease and show a percentage. I usually grab a peak bottle from walmart and I'm good for another 10k miles
