Do these [] symbols count as data in data stores?

You see when you encode a table, you get result like this: ["Hello","kirda",52035], there are those [] symbols. In game i count amount of data saved in each data store (it makes the game look professional). So what do i do to check it is that i get amount of characters the encode result has, so for example: 25/4,000,000 means it has 25 characters, but it also counts these [] as character so my question is, Do these [] symbols count as characters/more data in data store saves too?

thanks kirda

There IS MUCH more data being saved than just keys and values, so that does not really matter from DataStore point of view. I do not know how DataStore works exactly, but minimum it needs to save gameid, playerid, hashdata, metadata. Probably much more. These days storage space is irrelevant and comes cheap, so you should not really worry about that. All that matters is how many querries you send, sleazel 1287 — 3y
