I have had a mavic pro for about 6 months.  Last month, got the Gimball motor overload error.  Was unable to recalibrate.  Sent in to DJI and they fixed the problem (sent me another refurbished mavic pro).  different SN.  Anyway, the camera and gimball work perfectly now.  DJI was very quick with the turn around and I appreciate that.  

My problem now is, the drone will not go above 100 ft.  The distance it will travel is limited to about 500 feet.  It is as if the drone is in Beginner Mode.  I have cycled the swith.  It is definately off.  I have updated the firmware.  Does anyone have a clue how to over ride this?  Do I need to send it in to DJI again?  Look forward to an easy fix.  Thanks.

Have you removed the gimbal clamp? Did anything happen before, like hard landing or crash?

Yes, it establishes connection with the drone and control. Disable the startup mode and the screen shows that it has been disabled but when it reaches the height of 30 meters it says that it was the maximum height, I check again and it shows that it is disabled.
