No. I just switched off my mobile and I still can send messages on desktop with Signal.

Is there a grace period ?

Desktop app is designed to work even without having your mobile Signal app active. It's a standalone app in itself.

This is incorrect. Signal desktop can continue to work without having Signal mobile active. My mobile phone is on airplane mode and is being charged at the moment, but I am on a call with my colleague using Signal desktop. They are on Signal mobile.
