That is a somewhat simplified definition of temperature. While there's a parallel discussion on the same topic at [0], the term you're looking for is Planck temperature [1]. There is no "upper cap" on temperature per se, but we also don't have any models for describing what would happen beyond that point. See [2] for more discussion.
