What can I do when VS code can NOT save file to SSH remote server?

I have made some code works today with VS Code. Suddenly when I pressed the CMD + s, VS Code told me:

Failed to save 'example.py': Unable to write file

remote+123.255.255.255/data/example.py' (Canceled: Canceled)

The SSH connection looks like still alive when I opened another SSH remote project. Then I thought maybe a backup would be a good idea, So I pressed the Saved As button right bottom and input the path /data/example_backup.py which got a warning:

Please enter a path that exists

I still got this warning even if I tried /data/example.py.

Then the show local button reminded me that I can save this file to my local disk. After pressed show local button and choose the local directory, VS Code made some feedback:

Unable to read file 'vscode-remote://ssh-remote+123.255.255.255/data/example.py' (Canceled: Canceled)

But it seems that the backup worked because the file has already been in the local folder.

Is there a workaround to reconnect the SSH remote and save again?

This is followed, for instance, by microsoft/vscode-remote-release issue 5215 (after hibernation) or 4686 (WSL2)

For testing, try the Reload Window command, and see if the connection is restored then (with your file in progress being restored as well, ready to be saved).
