TypeScript: Unable to use TypeScript (Code Helper 100% of processor)

Since a couple of days I can’t use VScode properly with TypeScript (show info on hover, auto import etc.) it works 5 minutes when I launch the app and then I have a Code Helper process at 100% of processor and I can’t use it anymore. I tried reinstall 1.58.2, Insiders version but I still have this issue.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Hello, a small update!

We still aren’t able to pinpoint the issue but it seems that bumping the allocated memory for tsserver “solves” the issue. ("typescript.tsserver.maxTsServerMemory": 8192), I had something like 3Go previously.

VSCode is back to normal, the autocompletion / imports and type checks are instant! 🚀

Thanks. Can you also test on the latest VS Code insiders build to confirm this hasn’t already been fixed
