fix: Add a DISCONNECT_DELAY_THRESHOLD while fetching the conversations (#9757)

The disconnect threshold is added to account for delays in identifying disconnections (for example, the websocket disconnection takes up to 3 seconds) while fetching the latest updated conversations or messages.

In this case, the cable disconnection event takes about 3 seconds to fire. If there was a conversation which was created in this 3 second, it would not be displayed in the UI until the refresh.
