Riding a tuned or deristricted EMTB is not a trivial offence and can have serious legal consequences. Also, many manufacturers can detect the use of a tuning device or deristricting method and may decline a repair under warranty if it was modified from the intended original specification. Deristricting EMTB's can also add increased loads for motors and batteries. Riding above the local law limit may reclassify the bike as a low-powered bike, requiring insurance, registration and a number plate.
Be aware of your local country laws. Many laws prohibit use of modified EMTB's. It is your responsibility to check local laws. Ignoring it, has potential implications to trail access, and risk of prosecution in the event of an accident.

For me the combo 1.0.2.0 and badassBox 4 worked for only 3 days with the same motor as you. With the latest firmware 1.1.0.0 (85nM) the same combo worked for 2 weeks of daily riding before 504 error. Not sure if it's the dongle that is triggering the error, or if it's something else. I'm now trying out Volspeed v.3 instead and it's been good so far. But I cap the speed below 40km/h with that one, as some people seem to think that it may help to avoid errors.Used the Badass 4 for 920km's without any problem and then got err 504, running with engine version 1.0.2.0 (performance line CX)
Considering update to 1.0.3.0
Any feedbacks on that combo ?
Think 40kph is to much, (badass4 cuts off at 40)For me the combo 1.0.2.0 and badassBox 4 worked for only 3 days with the same motor as you.

I have Volspeed v.3 set to 35km/h, it's too early for me to say anything regarding error 504 with this setup. With badassBox 4 I was getting support up to 50km/h.Think 40kph is to much, (badass4 cuts off at 40)
Switched to speedchip, as far as I see all remarks, you should stay under 35kph to avoid 504
Does not really make a difference what chip you use...
Selectieve update to 1.0.3.0 was not possible, Bosch always present the most recent and with no indication of the version.
If someone has the 1.0.3.0 firmware available, please (this one has some corrections on faulty 504 errors)
At this point there are not many evaluations on the 1.1.0.0, so I don’t take the risk.
