Each time the debug function is used, there will be one more item in the STM32cube registers tree of the debug interface

Known behavior ...

Very same applies to https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=mcu-debug.peripheral-viewer

Sounds kind of must have if running multiple debug sessions at same time (multi core devices as example) but for basic device a bit annoying yes.
Workaround I've found is to reload or restart VSCode

Hello @sukiElaina,

Could you share your debug configuration in launch.json?
