In the OW Classic October 2020 Patch currently Sombra’s translocator cooldown begins after teleportation/destruction, however that is from a much earlier patch and was later changed to the cooldown starting upon throwing the beacon. Self destructing the translocator also should suffer NO cooldown. The moment it is thrown its cooldown begins, so if it has been on the ground for 6 seconds, upon teleportation/self destruction it should be available immediately. The only exception is if it has been destroyed by another player - then the cooldown begins anew.
