The way hot exit works is to periodically make backups of unsaved files. If VS Code happens to crash, a backup restore will occur the next time the folder is opened.
On Windows, the backup folder is C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Code\Backups.
As for the period between backups, I haven't found anything.
