Limiting VS Code Notification Noise Without Losing Critical Alerts

The goal is to minimize VS Code’s notification interruptions while still surfacing alerts that require immediate attention. The available controls include a global toast toggle, per‑extension silencing lists, and the option to hide the Notification Center badge, but each approach either suppresses all toast notifications or requires manual maintenance of extension IDs.

Because VS Code lacks a built‑in snooze or delay mechanism, users cannot temporarily suppress notifications for a defined window without risking missed alerts. This raises uncertainty about how to balance noise reduction with timely visibility of important messages.

• Can VS Code be configured to show toast notifications only for specific severity levels (e.g., errors) while suppressing lower‑priority alerts?
• Is there a reliable method to temporarily silence notifications for a set period without losing them entirely?
