 While 524,288 is the maximum number of files that can be watched, if you're in an environment that is particularly memory-constrained, you might want to lower the number. Each file watch [takes up 1,080 bytes](https://stackoverflow.com/a/7091897/1156119), so assuming that all 524,288 watches are consumed, that results in an upper bound of around 540 MiB.

 Another option is to exclude specific workspace directories from the VS Code file watcher with the `setting(files.watcherExclude)` [setting](/docs/configure/settings.md). The default for `setting(files.watcherExclude)` excludes `node_modules` and some folders under `.git`, but you can add other directories that you don't want VS Code to track.
