Make sure you have extension autoupdates enabled and try pinning extensions to a specific version using following UI. Make sure extensions are not getting auto updated after pinning.

• From CLI : Install a specific version using following format - code-insiders --install-extension eamodio.gitlens@13.1.1
• From Extensions UI - Use *Install Another Version... action in the context menu of the installed extension.
• Make sure the pinned version is synced across VS Code instances - Use Settings Sync feature to test this. To have different instances of VS Code on same machine, open VS Code from CLI using different user-data-dir and extensions-dir. Eg: code-insiders --user-data-dir <path> --extensions-dir <path>
• Export and Import the profile with the pinned extension and make sure in the imported profile, extension is still pinned. Export and Import profile actions are available in the global activity context menu (gear).
