After I successfully call the method this.client.gamesPlayed([730]), haveGCSession is false

I'm running into a weird issue with the GC session in CS:GO. As you can see in the screenshot, I'm logged in, but haveGCSession is showing as false. The strange part is that it doesn't happen every time—sometimes it's true. Any idea what's going on?

async loginGame(appId = 730){
    logger.info('loginGC', this.config.steamId, ';', this.getClientGC().haveGCSession);
    if(!this.getClientGC().haveGCSession){
      this.client.gamesPlayed([appId]);
      await sleep(1000)
    }
    return {
      code:200,
      success: true,
      data: null
    }
  }

  checkStatus(){
    return {
      code:200,
      success: true,
      data: {
        isSteamConnected: !!this.client.steamID?.toString(),
        isGCClientConnected: this.getClientGC().haveGCSession
      }
    }
  }

This is normal if your steam-user client shut down without properly logging off recently. I believe what happens is the GC never receives a notification of the client disconnecting, so it keeps your session active even though you're no longer there. You can typically solve this by calling logOff() if you don't get a session in a reasonable time, then logging on again.

Thank you so much!😃
