In VSCode try edit setting.json File --> Preferences --> Settings --> OpenSettings

and exclude specific workspace directories, eg

"files.watcherExclude": {
"**/.git/objects/**": true,
"**/.git/subtree-cache/**": true,
"**/node_modules/*/**": true

}

It’s hitting your system's file watchers limit

Try echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p
