Story time! Would love an explanation if anyone has one!

So I'm about 2 blocks from my house driving home from work. 2011 V6 2LT RS, 83k miles. Cross over the train tracks (low speed maybe 25 mph) and all of the sudden every light on my dash lights up.

Warning: Engine Power Comprised.

WTF is this a video game? My shields are down and my engine is losing power!?!?

Service stabilitrack is also on. Traction Control and Stabilitrack are off.

I hit the gas, barely any power there. I go through the gears, make it home mostly coasting doing about 10-15 mph, pull out the laptop and check the OBD.

P0221.

A google search actually doesn't really give me much info. I kill the engine, restart it. Same thing, though.

Kill it and give it 2 minutes. Cycle the engine again and it fires up seemingly like normal. Rev it, all the power seems to be there.

Back out, take it around the block, no issues, all the lights go off. Check the laptop again, all the codes are gone and I didn't reset anything.

Anyone have an idea wtf just happened?
