Description

I sometimes work in parallel with other local AI models which require all VRAM thus I cannot start ollama. This notification shows up constantly, I cannot disable it and it is annoying. I don't want to disable auto-complete because it should work once Ollama runs again.

To reproduce

1. Don't start Ollama
2. Start VSCode
