Oil pressure warning with limp-like throttle response; bike shut itself off after oil/filter service

oil pressure system (sensor or pump undiagnosed)

Reddit post by u/z3zzzz (r/motorcycles). 2015 Yamaha R3 oil pressure light came on with sharply reduced throttle response. Owner changed oil and filter; light remained and the bike switched itself off when RPM struggled to match throttle. Bike still starts but oil pressure warning persists.
