debounced completions

About this tag
Debounced completions in Visual Studio 2022 give developers control over when GitHub Copilot suggestions appear, reducing interruptions from constant AI predictions. The August 2025 update (v17.14.13) introduces a debounce option that delays suggestions until a pause in typing, along with on-demand and partial completions. These features let developers choose how much assistance Copilot provides, making it a configurable coding partner rather than an always-on assistant. The changes address common frustrations with inline completions while preserving productivity benefits for those who want them.
