Your system information

• Steam client version (build number or date): 1759461205, installed via Flatpak

• Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
• Steam Logs:
• GPU: AMD

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

After resuming from standby, my wired connection takes a second to come back online.

Steam correctly detects the offline state, but then waits for 20+ seconds before checking the connection status again:

StartAutoReconnect() will start in 22.0 seconds (attempt 1)

In the meantime I just click "Go Offline..." in the Steam menu and go online again, and get a usable Steam after a few seconds.

This StartAutoReconnect delay should either be shortened to 1-2s by default (with backoff), or be configurable.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Start Steam
2. Suspend system
3. Resume system
4. Try to play a game, Steam will warn that there is no connection for cloud syncing, even though there is.
