I had the same issue and found that adjusting the download settings in Steam (like clearing the download cache) really helped.
Make sure you're connected to a fast Wi-Fi network! Sometimes, switching to 5 GHz can make a big difference.
Make sure your Steam Deck firmware is updated. Old firmware can sometimes cause slowdowns.
Steam servers might be overloaded or undergoing maintenance. It happens!
