What happens if i refund a steam game but i still have it?

Steam tracks your total playtime across refunds. In other words, if you buy a game, play it for a hour, and refund it, then buy it again, its total play time will be set to one hour right after the second purchase.

How do i refund a steam deck game?
Navigate to Steam Help (help.steampowered.com) and log in with your Steam account. Find the purchase you would like to refund and click on it. If your purchase is not listed, it falls too far outside of our refund window and is ineligible for a refund. Select the problem you are having with the product.

Why cant i refund a gifted game?
Can you refund gifted games? It is possible to refund a gifted game through Steam as well. You need to meet the same requirements first - i.e. not having played it for more than two hours and having it in your account for less than 14-days but if that's so then you can ask for a refund.
