Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): 1581460722
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Debian Buster/LMDE4 64 bit
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When the steam client starts, it begins inhibiting (scope flag 8: Inhibit the session being marked as idle), reason: "Playing a game". It renews this approximately every 30 seconds

The inhibitor should only be active if a game is actually running, and it is not necessary to renew this every 30 seconds.

It should work as follows:

  1. Start steam
  2. Start game (add inhibitor)
  3. playing game....
  4. exit game (remove inhibitor)
  5. exit steam

Thanks
