I also fixed a weird SteamDeck issue this week. Maybe others will run into it. My deck started going super slow, and having trouble booting. I even tried a factory reset to no avail and was getting ready to warranty it, when I thought to try one last trick.
Apparently going into the system setup menu (hold Volume + while turning it on) and turning on long term battery storage mode, then turning it off again (by booting up with the power cord in) somehow fixes this issue. So i did that, and it worked!
I’m mystified as to what random setting got flipped that this corrects, but I’m happy it worked.

I had the same issue ages ago with the same fix. I’m curious what setting is getting stuck and why it hasn’t been addressed in over a year.
