When Sync server is unavailable, sync status is misleadingly shown as working (green)

Steps to reproduce

Wait till sync server is down (as it is now).
Wait for 3 attempts to log in to fail, then wait a bit more until “Waiting to connect to server” is shown up in the sync log.

Expected result

Sync icon is red, clearly signaling the fact that sync is not working.

Actual result

After turning red briefly, sync icon changes to all good green.

While in the sync log:

2022-10-07 10:36 - Connecting to server
2022-10-07 10:37 - Did not respond to login request: {"op":"pong"}
2022-10-07 10:37 - Connecting to server
2022-10-07 10:37 - Did not respond to login request: {"op":"pong"}
2022-10-07 10:37 - Connecting to server
2022-10-07 10:38 - Did not respond to login request: {"op":"pong"}
2022-10-07 10:38 - Waiting to connect to server
2022-10-07 10:38 - Connecting to server
2022-10-07 10:39 - Did not respond to login request: {"op":"pong"}
2022-10-07 10:39 - Waiting to connect to server
2022-10-07 10:39 - Connecting to server
2022-10-07 10:40 - Did not respond to login request: {"op":"pong"}
2022-10-07 10:40 - Waiting to connect to server

And nothing is actually synced.

Had the same thing a few minutes ago but working now. Also wasn’t able to log into my account on obsidian.md, but now I can.

Yeah, the server is working now, but the bug report is specifically about the misleading status when it’s not working.
