I have a 2015 GSW with 216k miles which is flagging a P2459 dpf regen frequency code. It’s been showing up on and off for about a year, initially the CEL would come on for a week or two, then turn off on its own. Now CEL is on solid, and code comes back within a day tafter I clear it. I suspect that my DPF is almost completely clogged and I’m now running on borrowed time.
I’ve seen a lot of ads for vdpf cleaning fluids, cleaning services, etc that claim to make your dpf “like new” rather than requiring dpf replacement. Any one had any success cleaning their dpf?

Motor Power Care catalytic converter and dpf foam cleaner. Looks like it has mostly good reviews.
I also found a local company that will ultrasonically clean my dpf for $600 if I take it out and bring it to them. Guaranteed not to set a dpf code for one year after cleaning or I get to take it out and they’ll clean it again for free.
So, Is cleaning a dpf a waste of time and money? Do I just be need to bite the bullet and order a new ID parts dpf or Rawtek dpf/egr delete to really fix this?
I got 216k out of the original, so maybe a new dpf every 200k is reasonable.
