This doesn't happen, at least on account of Snap. It's copy-on-write when it comes to updates, and whatever version you have running at the time of update will happily keep on running. I've been mildly confused by this a couple times, when I would end up with two different versions of VS Code running side by side, but the bright side was that my work wasn't interrupted.
It incidentally also sidesteps all the problems that stem from libraries or configuration being updated under a running application, which can happen with Apt.
