Description
I'm using react with typescript. Right now, if I install an npm package with lots of types, for example, react-icons, the intellisense gives way too many suggestions, which lags vscode, and any letter I typed subsequently during the lag will not register.
I'm not sure if this feature exists or not, but I didn't find anything. I would love for something like "editor.suggest.maxResults": 100 for example, and the intellisense will only give 100 suggestions at max.

Research direction
Start by determining whether limiting IntelliSense suggestions belongs in the TypeScript language service or the editor integration; the request specifically proposes an editor.suggest.maxResults setting. Trace how suggestions are produced for large npm type packages such as react-icons. Done means a configurable maximum prevents excessive results and reduces typing lag.
