VS code slow for a specific project

I've been using VS code for some years now and I loved the experience so far, but one of my most recent projects suddenly slowed down the VS code drastically, I couldn't figure out why yet. And amazingly other projects do not give me this headache at the moment, with VS code. So I suspect there's something with the particular project I mentioned before giving me the trouble. I tried deleting the repo and cloning it again in a new place, uninstalled and installed VS code again, but still no luck. It's really laggy, It takes up to a minute or so to update something I wrote in the editor.

Here's the status report of VS code when the problem occurs

I have the exact same issue with VSCode and decided to download the latest version of VSCode Insiders (https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders/). They seem to have fixed this issue as the problem is not showing up anymore on any of the affected projects.

You can also sync your VSCode settings with VSCode Insiders (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/settings-sync) so you can continue to work normally until this issue is fixed in regular VSCode.
