Unable change settings from deactivate() function

Type: Bug

Attempting change global setting inside deactivate() function fail. No changes are done

Example:

export function deactivate() {
  const config = workspace.getConfiguration();
  console.log("deactivate()", "before", JSON.stringify(config.get('mysetting')));
  config.update('mysetting', Date.now(), true);
  console.log("deactivate()", "after", JSON.stringify(config.get('mysetting')));
}

The console shows before and after the same value undefined and global settings.json not changed
