TypeScript: Auto-import consistently failing after a few minutes (happening in vscode, nightly ts)

Bug Report

I’m sorry, this may not be a very good bug report, but auto-import consistently stops working after a few minutes. I have posted a bit of logging below.

🕗 Version & Regression Information

None of these are applicable. I am using typescript nightly in vscode, and it has happened on an off for a long time.

🙁 Actual behavior

After a few minutes of work, auto importing stops working. If restart the tsserver in vscode the auto imports work again on the same line of code. This happens repeatedly after 10-15 minutes of coding. Even when importing the same thing in a different file. I noticed this in this logs:

As you can see, it does find results attempted to add more than 10 dependencies, but then it bails out with no suggestions in the vscode intellisense dropdown.

🙂 Expected behavior

Auto import works consistently.

@andrewbranch I didn’t use the feature much today, but it’s been working flawlessly with typescript@4.7.0-dev.20220506 so far! 👏 🎉

Also when it happens, check the Output panel of the Extension Host in VS Code and make sure you don’t see any errors—I didn’t see any in @flupke’s logs but it’s possible the two of you are experiencing different root causes. If there’s an error stack it will obviously narrow down where to look a lot.
