Usual cause is filters full of ash. Time for (2) new DPF"s. Make sure you remove soot sensor and clean with mineral spirits. Do a regen with laptop when done and reset ash accumulator.
AlexD13 Thanks this. -

Thank you so much! I will look into this sooner than later. Also was told It may be a software update with the emissions system

The DPF's were cleaned 5 weeks ago and a software updated was done as well. The Same code returned. Any advise is appreciated So I pass it along to the mechanic.

The DOC is the first device in the after-treatment system. It is a flow through filter that contains precious metals to start the oxidation of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and unburned fuel and oil. Both the DOC and the DPF are honeycomb ceramic filters.
Check and verify the simple inexpensive things first: air filter, check the intake and exhaust piping with either air or smoke. You need data from the system to see what the parameters are and if anything is off. There is a normal range for many parts of the aftertreatment system. Differential DPF pressure which is the difference between the inlet and outlet pressure of the DPF. Are the injectors running rich? NOx in and NOx out..... Maybe there is a problem with the 7th injector that is not setting a code. The engine may just be running rich and producing too many hydrocarbons.
The DOC and SCR (not that the SCR which controls NOx is your problem) are similar to a catalytic converter in a car. Eventually the precious metals wear off and don't react with the exhaust gasses to do their job and eventually need to be replaced. If all the data checks out then I would suspect the DOC.
Below is a good thread. DOC can/should be cleaned when the DPF is cleaned. With your 710k miles it's probably time for a one box.
