"Database locked" when using in multiple VS code instances

[dfcfdev-partners]

Describe the Issue

I tend to run up to 4x projects in parallel. No abuse, i just have to get a lot of work done on multiple webdev customers projects.

When i try to run a second or a third instance in planning phase in parallel i sometimes get the message "Failed to generate phase: Database locked ... [details i forgot to copy when this occured]"

I would very much like to be able to run up to 4-6x projects in parallel.

I have tried Cursor, Claude Code, Kiro and every AI agent and mcps or setups for planned thinking. Traycer just gets it right and it would be wonderful if you could make it possible to run more instances in parallel.
