Error codes randomly popping up

Hey everyone. Hoping you guys can help me out on error codes I've been getting, seemly throwing the car into limp mode (but nothing actually appears to be wrong). Been having this issue randomly come and go. When cleared, it goes away for a little while but comes back in the middle of a random drive. I rarely drive the car and seems to come up every gas fill up. It'll some times go away by itself. I've been clearing it for the past few months or so but I think it's finally time to stop avoiding this. Any ideas as to what this could be?

Running on a MCS 2011 n18 r56

My gut reaction with that many codes across all the different modules would be battery is on its way out. Since the car uses a CAN bus, low voltage can cause all sorts of wacky conditions.

Thanks!

I also saw an article about the FRM module needing a software update due to a bug and I was hoping that wasn't it
