Option to exclude patterns from auto import not working?

There's this new feature with Typescript 4.8 that allows you to prevent auto import from suggesting files or packages, but I can't seem to make it work.

This is the workspace setting that I have:

{
  "typescript.preferences.autoImportFileExcludePatterns": [
    "@stitches/react"
  ]
}

But then when I try to import in VS Code it still suggests the library.

I'm sure the settings are being applied because I tested adding another setting in the same file and that setting worked.

I figured it out myself. Turns out that VS Code was running Typescript 4.7 internally, which doesn't support the new setting.

I had to set VS Code's Typescript's version to the same one as in my node_modules by adding typescript.tsdk to my settings:

{
  "typescript.tsdk": "node_modules/typescript/lib",
  "typescript.preferences.autoImportFileExcludePatterns": ["@stitches/react"]
}
