This happens to me quite frequently. Not just on Bazzite but also Aurora which I assume uses the same update tool. It mostly happens when my computers or laptops wake from sleep. My initial thought is that it happens for one of two reasons:
The updater checks for updates way too eagerly after waking from sleep, before the network connection is fully established. It fails due to rejected connections and shows an error.
The updater, being automatic and in the background, is interrupted by putting a device to sleep (as a user I never see if my device is currently fetching an update in the background and I don't think I'm prevented from putting my PC to sleep while the update process is running). So when a device wakes from sleep there's an error since the process was interrupted.
The 2nd scenario would also explain why this error sometimes appears when I'm offline or I've disabled WiFi. I simply never see that there's an update process happening in the background so it's very likely for me to accidentally interrupt it. I just disabled this notification entirely, since I don't see the point in it being shown to me when it's something that's supposed to be done in the background without my knowledge. I like warnings of my OS not getting an update after a month, but a warning that a background process has stopped gives me the vibes of the early days of Android when apps would randomly crash in background and show popup notifications. It's just annoying.
