Can you try to experiment with running VS Code with a large memory cap code --max-memory to see if it fixes the problem?

How does it not meet the guidelines?

[RCcola1987]

With a large memory pool i get error
The window has crashed (reason: 'oom', code:'-536870904')
it is also still crashing at the same amount of memory used.

[rebornix]

@RCcola1987 did you try with a larger max-memory (larger than the file size) and see if it helps?

[RCcola1987]

Even when you set the max memory to 64gb it will still get to like 7gb and then crash. The file is only 1.01gb.

Same issue, I open a 4g sql, give code --max-memory=12280mb. But code said It didn't recognize this parameter and crashed with oom soon
