Why won't my Transit rev above 3000rpm?

I have a 2016 Ford Transit. The fuel filter light came on and a message said it’s blocked. It won't rev above 3000rpm. I changed the fuel filter this morning but it still won’t rev above 3000rpm?

This reads like a DPF (diesel particulate filter) issue: vans.honestjohn.co.uk/van-news/comment/van-drivers.../

It may be full of ash. Or require cleaning if the van is only used for short trips.
