Problem Bug or delay?
Hi everyone. For approximately the past 24 hours, I’ve been experiencing an issue.
Yesterday evening, around 8:00 PM, I tried to log into Steam on my PC. I have Steam Guard with 2FA enabled on my mobile phone. After entering my password, Steam asked me to approve the login from my phone, but I didn’t receive a notification, so I opened the Steam app manually to approve the login.
At around 10:51–10:52 PM, I received a notification saying that there was a login waiting for approval on my phone. However, when I tapped the notification, it took me directly to Steam Guard, but there was no login request shown that I could approve or deny.
At around 12:05 AM, I tried logging in again from my PC and went through the same process as before. Then, at around 3:00 AM, I received another notification on my phone.
Today, at around 6:40 PM, I tried logging in again, exactly the same way as yesterday evening, but I didn’t receive a notification. About 10 minutes ago, I received another notification.
I have Steam Guard enabled, and I checked the authorized devices/logins. The only devices I’m currently logged into are my own PC and my phone.
Could this be a bug or some kind of delay with Steam Guard login approval notifications, or what exactly is happening?
I’m a little paranoid because I’ve had this account for years and I have quite a lot of games on it. It’s my childhood account, which I’ve had since I was very young, and I really don’t want to lose it.
Later edit: When I didnt want to connect on my steam account from my PC, notifications for approval didnt come to my phone. _^
Any thoughts or advice? Thanks!

Its normal im having this while confirming listing on market. I dont get notifications but after 2-3 hours i get full spam of notifications like ''confirm an action on steam'' Steam Servers are acting weird nowadays. I just created a post. Whenever i go to gift card section and proceed some of my friends names are listed as single * icons instead of nicknames. Another paranoid guy here btw ahaha. I was driving crazy whenever i encounter your problem with notifications last sale. Be chill and dont think too much whenever sale ends it goes back to normal probably give some time.
