Posting to see if someone has a fix.

When I boot a game within Big Picture, it plays perfectly fine, performance is as expected (e.g. 60 FPS locked in Hades, or around 120 FPS in Payday 2) and the steam UI is snappy at 60FPS.
However, after putting the system to sleep using the power menu in steam big picture, upon rewaking the system not only do the games slow to a crawl at around 4-10 FPS, so does the steam UI.
If I then close the game, steams UI returns to a locked 60FPS. When I reboot the game, it returns to its expected performance.
Please Help! This is my only issue with bazzite so far, and so far I love it a lot aside from this issue. Im not a Linux newbie and willing to get dirty in the command line if need be.
Games Tested:
Hades (Steam) + Payday 2 (Heroic)

Id like to note I just tried the same thing, playing a game, putting the system to sleep and waking it, in KDE Plasma and observed the same result
I think i figured it out...
The GPUs clock is stuck at like 100mhz when I wake the computer, and then go past that and up to 1000mhx when I close the game
