key-value delimiter not found

          Can you turn on debug mode, then share your vscode dev console logs when it happens again?

The error message from your logs above is:

failed to parse config files: failed to load configuration file: error parsing config file: While parsing config: key-value delimiter not found

That means your ~/.wakatime.cfg file has the api key on a line by itself. Change that line to start with api_key = and it will start working. You'll also need to generate a new api key, because GitHub Secret Scanning will have invalidated that api key since it's visible publicly here.
