VS Code does not honor "Low data mode" #221729

Open candalfigomoro opened 4 months ago

candalfigomoro commented 4 months ago

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Enable "Low data mode" on macOS (it's similar to setting "metered connection" on Windows), see https://discussions.apple.com/content/attachment/c77a4181-da66-4265-afb2-cd34a4aff138
  2. Start VS Code when a VS Code update is available.
  3. VS Code will automatically download the update (if automatic updates are enabled, which is the default setting) - VS Code should not automatically download updates when the network connection is set in "Low data mode", since updates are large.

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.91.1. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!

By definition, I cannot reproduce this with the latest version because the problem is with the automatic downloading of updates, and the latest version would not download updates.
