I am suspecting this is caused by https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/15960 which is an issue with pypy itself. We have added a mitigation which will be available in the next release or if you needed it sooner try the insider version of the python extension. You can always download and install latest insiders build form here https://pvsc.blob.core.windows.net/extension-builds/ms-python-insiders.vsix .
@tonka3000 this might be an issue on the debugger side. I have created this issue to track https://github.com/microsoft/debugpy/issues/604
