For me, the following 2 changes worked

  1. Add an absolute path for pythonPath
  2. Use the "--noreload" option while starting the project

Here’s the relevant part of my config

    {
        "name": "Django",
        "type": "python",
        "request": "launch",
        "stopOnEntry": true,
        "pythonPath": "/Users/xyz/Documents/dev/my_project/my_project_env/bin/python",
        "program": "${workspaceRoot}/manage.py",
        "args": [
            "runserver",
            "0.0.0.0:8080",
            "--noreload"                
        ],
        "debugOptions": [
            "WaitOnAbnormalExit",
            "WaitOnNormalExit",
            "RedirectOutput",
            "DjangoDebugging"
        ]
    },

This official tutorial worked in my case.

Just needed to open the "command palette" of VS Code and select my Python Interpreter to the virtual environment:
