I solved this problem by below setting in settings.json:

// ...
"http.proxyAuthorization": null
// ...

I’m not sure if it’s an issue with VSCode or Clash X, as I only encountered it after updating to version 1.76.0. I’ve been using Clash X for years and never had this problem before. The last update for Clash X was released last year.
