VSCode: How to fix Python extension version for Python 2 compatibility and prevent automatic upgrade?

I have a legacy code using Python 2. The last version of VSCode Python extension that supports Python 2 is v2022.2.1924087327

It is very easy to change the extension to an older version.

My problem is that VSCode always automatically updates the extension. Since I'm using it in a remote machine, when I loose connection, it automatically updates the extension, and I must manually downgrade it, reload the window and start it again.

Is it possible to fiz the version of my Python extension in VSCode?

I've just found how to prevent extensions to automatically upgrade.

And I just set:

{
  "extensions.autoUpdate": false
}

It will now ask me for each extension upgrade, it is an annoyance, but at least I can control it.

If someone finds how to disable auto update just for the Python extension, I'll mark it as the correct answer.
