The BBj extension is causing 100% CPU usage on macOS, and the CPU load does not decrease over time, resulting in a complete system freeze.

When working with a VS Code workspace containing multiple projects, the CPU usage spikes to 100%. Here's how I diagnosed the issue:

  1. Open Activity Monitor.

  2. Look for the process with the highest CPU usage (it should already be at the top of the list).

  3. Note the PID of the identified process.

  4. Open the terminal and run the following command to inspect the process:

    ps aux | grep 76242

    Output:

    habof@Hyyans-Work-MacBook-Pro ~ % ps aux | grep 76242
    habof            76242  99.4  0.4 1621917760  69216   ??
