Whenever the switch enters sleep mode or internet connection is lost and a reconnect is tried, the sign in service fails or is stuck in a loop requiring a restart of the game to fix. Thankfully after the Switch version 10.0.0 the game launches much faster, but this is still very annoying and a fix would be greatly appreciated! This has happened across all of the wi-fi connections I have been connected to. The following image shows the generic sign in loading animation (It somewhat often goes invisible as well)
Steps to recreate:
-exit the game to the home menu (but do not close the game)
-leave the console in sleep mode for a minute
-Reenter the game and go to the home menu hitting sign in to nintendo account.
The sign in will fail and the text "Signing into Nintendo Account..." will sometimes appear or not at all.
The Nintendo sign-in process should be stuck from there and not resolve itself.
(Note that restarting the game fixes this issue temporarily)

my main issue is having to restart the game so often so I can sign in. The connection error makes sense but not being able to sign in during an active connection is very annoying.
Enabling local network and going back to online Network connections during the described issue also gives an infinite loading screen neccitating the restart of the game.
this has happened to me since 1.14. it still happens in 1.16. 1.16.20+ now makes me sign in from another device. its really annoying
edit: also it says "a communication error has occurred"

This also happens to me even while using a hard-wired connection. Always happens when waking from sleep. Button is present until pushed, it tries to load, then the button disappears. Making me have to close the software and then reopen.
I always receive an error when waking from sleep: "A communication error has occurred. Please try again later. Error Code: 2306-0332"
This happens in any menu or state of the game when trying to return to the game from a sleep state from the Switch.
