I have moved to Visual Studio, and I am unwilling to do it. The suggestions or IntelliSense (a good name) is too slow. Unfortunately, I heavily depend on it. I have tried to set the waiting time to zero in the Visual Studio Code; however; the consequence is no suggestion will pop up.
There will always be a delay. It has to scan a list of what is defined in the project are and provide suggestions. Given the size of the engine, this will take a while unless you have a really powerful computer (i5, preferably i7 or equivalent AMD) and fast SSD as well. Even then, it won’t be instant.
I use Rider (not free) which sits between VSCode and Visual Studio, generally faster than studio with more in-built functionality and reliability without the need for plug-ins like Code. This also delays when auto-completing code. This is the nature of it. If you consider how many classes and methods UE has, it’s no surprise.
I know this is probably not the answer you’re looking for but I hope it helps.
