      When the client is running in offline mode and attempts to connect to a server, there should be an error message saying that you are playing offline, not that the auth servers are down. 

       

      • Disconnect your device from the internet
      • Start the Minecraft Launcher
      • Play Offline
      • Connect to any server
      • See "Failed to login: the authentication servers are currently down for maintenance", instead of something like "You are playing offline and cannot join servers"

      The auth servers were not down at the time of testing, as validated by reconnecting the device to the internet and connecting to a multiplayer server.
