Having to manually update via npm every other day to keep the extension working?

[DaDoBaag]

Every other day my Prettier code formatting stops working with this error message:

["INFO" - 16:53:04] Extension Name: esbenp.prettier-vscode.
["INFO" - 16:53:04] Extension Version: 9.0.0.
["INFO" - 16:53:13] Attempted to load Prettier module from c:\[project]\node_modules\prettierx
["ERROR" - 16:53:13] Your project is configured to use an outdated version of prettier that cannot be used by this extension. Upgrade to the latest version of prettier.

I then run npm update prettierx and it works again. I have disabled auto updates for my VS Code extensions via "extensions.autoUpdate": false but this error keeps coming up. Is that normal?
