Jumped out of a combat mission into SC, my ship then broke down and dropped out of supercruise. Couldn't get the damn thing to start up again, I tried to reboot multiple times. It looks like my modules weren't completely damaged? My hull was fine? How can I fix or avoid this next time, thank you!

Power limit exceeded sounds like your power pack is damaged in which case your priorities would switch off modules, as you have those set it looks like the ones at priority 1 still draw too much power so you need to shut some of those down or downgrade their priority.
Absolute minimum needed are FSD and Thrusters to get you somewhere when you get there you need sensors for docking permission, Life Support if you aren’t within 7.5 minutes of being docked unless you have the materials to synthesise it.

Looking at your screenshots, I believe you might've run out of fuel, not had a power management issue. In future, I'd suggest keeping an eye on it. Fuel up at stations, or equip a fuel scoop, and scoop from stars (Not all are scoopable, only classes O, B, A, F, G, K, and M).
Also, there is a player-run service to help rescue stranded players. Check out fuelrats.com for more info.
Just to the right of your power distributor bars, and just above the mass lock indicator is a bar marked "Fuel". It appears empty, and the fuel usage shows 0.00/h.
As the others have said, though, a damaged powerplant won't output as much.
I hope this helps!

Yes that explains everything OP ran out of fuel, no fuel no power.
If it happens again exit to main menu and like [VR] pjaj said contact The Fuelrats they have fuel and will go anywhere reachable to deliver it.
