The common wisdom is that, Valve needs to do something about this shit already.
Store the offline authentication token thingy on the sd system encrypted and whatnot. No need to check for updates every time you power the deck or wake it up. Or when you isp decides to switch your ip to a whole different country (I love in Iraq, they do this frequently on a randomly times and fucks up the whole log in for many sites).
The common wisdom is that you update, go offline mode, and test a few games before leaving home to avoid things like this.

I do this with my ROG to make sure all my games are sync’d to the Steam/Epic/Gamepass cloud. Its annoying but worth it for when I’m on the plane.
Thank you, Captain hindsight
Why is this necessary? It’s not acceptable.
