The last couple months (estimated) the Steam Online API integration has been working less than optimal. When you configure a set of accounts to check status on (for myself I have 25 accounts selected from my friend list), it will work okayish for a day or two, and then it will show unavailable more and more often, and over time just completely time out with a permanent unavailable.
If you leave the integration disabled for more than 24 hours, you can restart it and the cycle starts over again. I read somewhere that Steam API has 100.000 requests for day as limit, so my question he is; can we set a timer on when we check status for Steam? It would be sufficient with 1 time per minute, for a 24 hour period it would mean 36.000 API calls per day (if it require one call per account).
Last year this integration was "slower" in the sense that it had a 30 seconds update frequency, but I do think it's now quicker than 30 seconds, and maybe it should be reverted to keep the API session alive and not forcing it to timeout/close down.
What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?
core-2023.6.3
