GPG stop detecting smart card (yubikey) after a system upgrade

I store my private GPG key in my yubikey and have been signing commits off it for a while.

Sometimes
gpg --card-status
gpg --card-status
fails to detect my yubikey, usually a

gpgconf --kill all
gpgconf --kill all
or a
systemctl restart pcscd
systemctl restart pcscd
would resolve it.

Worst case scenario, a system restart would work as well. But I've never actually debug why this happens.

Recently I've done a
ujust upgrade
ujust upgrade
to do a system upgrade manually. Ever since my upgrade, my gpg can no longer detect my yubikey.

Anyone have experience using yubikey with bazzite? 🥲
