What problem does this address?

When you are disconnected from the Sync Provider, there is a modal that prevents the user from continuing to edit.

If the provider reconnects, the modal will disappear, but there is no indication of how long it will be before a reconnection is attempted. Other tools (Slack, Gmail, etc.) show a countdown until that reconnection attempt.

What is your proposed solution?

By showing a countdown until the next re-connection, users will have better information if they should wait, or if they should take one of the actions suggested by the modal.
