You will know if an active regen is taking place as the amber ‘particulate’ warning will be illuminated on the dash/infotainment module.
I had this after my car was in the dealer for repairs - obviously been left in low idle for quite a while.
The owners manuals c.2018 incorrectly describe what action is to be taken e.g. similar to diesel particulate filter maintain high revs using lower gear - this makes the situation worse. For the petrol GPF it’s similar to what @SRGTD described above - high gear/low revs, achieve 50 mph then coast - repeat until the warning lamp switches off.
To be honest this EA888 engine does run hot when compared to other VAG engines.
