Visual Studio Code 1.126 has been released, introducing features such as session-level credit tracking, a multi-chat Agents window, and stricter security defaults. The update allows users to view total credit consumption for entire chat sessions, making it easier to manage AI spending, while the new multi-chat support enables running multiple agent conversations side-by-side. Additionally, workspaces now open in Restricted Mode by default, enhancing security by preventing automatic trust of new folders. Overall, the release combines wallet-saving features with improved organization and security measures for developers

Visual Studio Code 1.126 dropped today, introducing session-level credit tracking and a multi-chat Agents window to give developers tighter control over their AI spending. The release also consolidates model tuning settings and shifts new workspaces into Restricted Mode by default, meaning you’ll browse unfamiliar code safely before any automation triggers. You can rename individual chat tabs within shared sessions, and those conversations persist across window reloads so you don’t lose your place.
