Why does the development team turn a blind eye to such a big bug? We are paying users and this is overdrafting our trust.

same problem. Agent Execution Timed Out.

I have the same problem, projects are stalling, deadlines are on the rise!

Agent Execution Timed Out
The agent execution provider did not respond within 16 seconds. This may indicate the
extension host is not running or is unresponsive.

The downgrade to version 2.3 is working as temporary fix.
But, I hope that will be a 2.4 or 2.5 that working correctly…
Meanwhile, a discount on our subscriptions charges will be a kindly gesture…

Same issue.
