How to stop PyCharm's break/stop/halt feature on handled exceptions (i.e. only break on python unhandled exceptions)?

I have that PyCharm is halting on all my exceptions, even the ones I am handling in a try except block. I do not want it to break there - I am handling and perhaps expecting an error. But every other exception I do want it to halt and suspend execution (e.g. so that I have the program state and debug it).

How does one do that?

I tried going into the python exception breakpoint option but I didn't see an option like "break only on unhandled exceptions" e.g as suggested by these:

• Stop PyCharm If Error
• https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/206601165-How-to-enable-stopping-on-unhandled-exceptions-

note this is my current state, note how it stopped in my try block... :(

I tried:

In your link here intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/… the poster Okke said they solved this issue adding --pdb to the 'addition arguments', which someone later said they probably meant interpreter options.

but didn't work got error:
