Does the A10 in the newer non-ZLE cars do this or retain the "performance shifting algorithm" once the car detects aggressive behavior not related to the mode button?

I have a 2021 A10 LT1. Sport mode does allow for later up shifts and can feel it downshifting by itself on normal slow downs compared to touring (LT1s have no track mode) If I jump on it hard from a roll , the car downshifts and I get a message "performance shift mode activated." Doesnt have to be in manual mode. I believe on my ride home in mid november with this brand new car , I jumped on it going down the highway 20 miles from the dealer and I saw the same message and was in touring mode. I have not tested the car since in touring mode because I am always in sport, so I have concluded when the car senses aggressive driving, Performance shift mode activates.
