Description
Type: Performance Issue
When the Github Copilot extension is installed in VSCode, the spinner animation in the status bar may get stuck and cause high CPU usage for the "Code - Insiders Helper (GPU)" process, even when the editor is idle.
I have attached a video demonstrating the behavior.

This seems to occur for both Github Copilot or other extensions that may produce a spinner. See https://github.com/phenomnomnominal/betterer/issues/1132 for a related issue.
