8 oz oil in trans
Well you have the means to relieve a cover if you want to. A new side cover is about $50, there are probably some available from members that have purchased “The Fix” from me that you could get for less. I would relieve a cover and then ask the dealer to install it. Then your warranty should be in tact. With the amount of transfer you have I think the vent will be futile.
until I searched the web and found out about it after the damage is done. Dealer says fill it up and they will monitor the levels.

What do you think the life expectancy of my trans is, I did my 1K service on my 2019 RGS and 8 oz of black trans oil drained out. I wasn't aware of the problem

Had my 20K done Saturday (2017 RGU M8), rear tire replaced by local Harley Master Tech (owns own business now). Asked him to check primary prior to draining for fluid transfer, as I have been adding tranny fluid. Sure enough about 1 qt overfilled in primary. He called Dealer to tell them about the issue, and they pulled my VIN and said my Powertrain has been flagged by Harley, WTF? The only thing done to bike was August 2017 at purchase dealer put aftermarket pipes, air cleaner, and Stage 1 download using a DEALESHIP OWNED Powervision tuner.
So, Now I'm gonna have to fight with Harley regarding my warranty...A Word to everyone on this site. Harley is VOIDING power train warranties on bikes with basically anything from stock!

may or may not help with your concerns but an interesting professional perspective nonetheless

Between about 13 and 15 minute marks, John makes 3 important statements:
paraphrasing here:
He says he has not seen many instances of sumping
later:
He has seen no (or very little) instances of voided warranty issues associated with M8 problems
and finally: the internet, in typical fashion, has overblown each of these issues.
Here’s what’s funny.....
When making each of the first 2 statements, John, at the critical moment, reaches up and touches his nose. This is the most fundamentally, classic “I’m not telling the truth” body language reaction. Do I think John is lying to us, no...but I’m sure there is an H-D “party line” which he must honor while doing all of his videos.
i reemphasize...I really like him and his stuff.....this is just too funny to pass up.
