read_case_data(file_name="steady_state") passes a name without a .cas* extension. In the settings API, the corresponding data filename is inferred by replacing .cas with .dat; without .cas in the name, the case/data arguments can end up identical, which can make Fluent look for the wrong data file. Consider writing/reading with an explicit case filename like steady_state.cas.h5 (so the matching .dat.h5 is derived correctly).
