If you checked the engine while cold, then topped it off to MAX, your oil level is now above MAX as oil expands. You should only be checking oil and topping off when it's hot and expanded.

In ID7 the ECU won't perform the measurement unless the following conditions are present; the car has to be at operating temperature, in P or N and on a level surface with the engine running. Unless all are present, it won't measure the level.
I'm still on my factory fill on my 2022 M240ix purchased new last August, it's still at the top line, don't know if 1/4 quart on the S58 in less than 500 miles may be something of concern, but it seems like that would be an outlier on a modern engine.
