Why does VSCode need forever to find references and fail to rename symbols?

I have a Python 3 function named foo. When I right click on this function in my VSCode editor and select Go to Reference it takes over a minute for the reference window to pop up. The Rename Symbol option does not work at all. If I search for foo in the search sidebar opened by Ctrl + Shift + F and search for foo I get a result instantly (without setting any file filters beforehand. The same applies when searching for references of other functions/variables. The problem is specific to only one of my repositories, although it does not contain significant more lines than the others. Does anybody have a guess how to fix this?

VSCode version: July 2021 (version 1.59)

Simple text based search is expected to be quick. However, all other operations require the language server behind the scene to parse all your source files and understand the entire code model.

If you can reliably reproduce the problem, open an issue on GitHub,
