My teams also likes to go to "sleep" on my machine and just ignore incoming messages. I am embarrassed to get the email from exchange that I've missed a message in teams.

This is on a machine that is dedicated to teams and has nothing else running on it. It's got it's own monitor, is always in the foreground, and is something I can always see from my desk.

That, and my calendar no longer shows the time bar. So, I can see all my meetings, but I have to guess based on distance where in the day it's actually scheduled.

It's most definitely anti-productive to be using this.

I personally like how you go to make a call to someone, and it appears to connect and after 10 second of silence it throws an error and you have to call again.

Sure is a step forward from the 90s with digital desk phones where you just pressed a speed dial and connected instantly.

Mine goes to "sleep" too. I've got the latest client version running on MacOS. If I receive any messages while my computer is idle, even for a minute, they don't refresh on screen or alert in any way. They wont' appear until I jiggle the cursor a bit.
I've had the same. When I was using Teams for many meetings I would restart the desktop app every few hours to try and prevent these kind of issues. Not unusual for me to restart it after every meeting.
