A320 fuel temp limitation

Hello guys,
LIM-28 FUEL establishes the meximum temperature for JET A1 at 54º

You will have the advisory for the inner cells at 45º and for the outer at 55, with the only instruction to switch off Galley Power
Being an advisory, i would be inclined to takeoff, knowing that soon the temperature will drop, but... am I busting the fuel limitation?

Curiously enough, FUEL INNER(OUTER) HI TEMP ECAM will be triggered when inner temp is 54, or outer 60, this time tellig you to delay takeoff

What I am wondering now is, what kind of fuel limitation is that?
FCOM doesn't specify if it is a general limitation or if the fuel cannot be used over that temp (takeoff will be done on inner tank feeding)

Anyone able to shed some light on this? Thanks!
