Steps to Reproduce:

Also seeing this, same version of VSCode and Ubuntu as OP.

In #41094 (almost 2 years ago), @Tyriar said "the team is planning on putting together better monitoring to hopefully catch this sort of thing earlier."

Apparently whatever was planned didn't go so well? Maybe some automation is needed?
