Hello Philip, thanks for the report.

I can see in the log that it's not being able to generate completions for some of the libraries you have (which I believe are the ones you want completion for).

In particular:

Generating libspec for: RPA.Browser.
Cwd:c:\Users\phili\Documents\GitHub\white-rabbit-japan\rpa-rabot\resources
Command line:
C:\Users\phili\anaconda3\python.exe -m robot.libdoc --format XML:HTML -P c:\Users\phili\Documents\GitHub\white-rabbit-japan\rpa-rabot\resources RPA.Browser C:\Users\phili\.robotframework-ls\specs\5ccafb0d_3.2.1\user\RPA.Browser.libspec

Generating libspec for: RabotUtils.
Cwd:c:\Users\phili\Documents\GitHub\white-rabbit-japan\rpa-rabot\resources
Command line:
C:\Users\phili\anaconda3\python.exe -m robot.libdoc --format XML:HTML -P c:\Users\phili\Documents\GitHub\white-rabbit-japan\rpa-rabot\resources RabotUtils C:\Users\phili\.robotframework-ls\specs\5ccafb0d_3.2.1\user\RabotUtils.libspec

Generating libspec for: RobotNotifications.
Cwd:c:\Users\phili\Documents\GitHub\white-rabbit-japan\rpa-rabot\resources
Command line:
C:\Users\phili\anaconda3\python.exe -m robot.libdoc --format XML:HTML -P c:\Users\phili\Documents\GitHub\white-rabbit-japan\rpa-rabot\resources RobotNotifications C:\Users\phili\.robotframework-ls\specs\5ccafb0d_3.2.1\user\RobotNotifications.libspec

So, you need to have those libraries installed in the same python executable you're using for the language server to be able to provide completions for them.

I finally got it working, thank you!

That said, the autocomplete is extremely slow. It takes 5-10s for the suggestions to load on Ctrl+Space, much, much longer than autocomplete for other languages, or within Robocode Lab.

Is this normal?

No, that's not normal... have you disabled the logging afterwards?

-- i.e.: The logging may make things slow.

If it's still slow, even without the logging, please create an issue to investigate that.
