You send m302 once and it lasts the whole session.

It looks too hot to me.

I was printing PLA @ 150C with the stock hotend, but generally aimed to print close to the lowest temp that I could where the material was easily pliable...as measured by extruding to the side of the bed and seeing how it folded over an object or wound in a circle on the floor of the printer.
