there is an outage, see https://status.snapcraft.io/ … the above is most likely fallout of this …

It may be, but I reproduced it hours before the outage and still do.

oh, and i just understood that there is not even a vscode snap (but is called “code” as you mentioned above) …

that seems like an issue on the store side returning wrong data, i moved this post into the store category so the right people see it in their queue.

Hi - Sorry for the delay. We traced this down to some invalid data that somehow made it into our releases database for the vscode snap. We’re looking into how to best fix it, I expect this to be fixed in the next few days.
