I have a solution if API services are disabled, turn that on. If that doesn't work then I have my own leaderboard that saves and is much smaller. Feel free to use it

01local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
02local ds1 = datastore:GetDataStore("CashSaveSystem")
03 
04game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
05    local folder = Instance.new("Folder", plr)
06    folder.Name = "leaderstats"
07    local cash = Instance.new("IntValue", folder)
08    cash.Name = "Money"
09 
10    cash.Value = ds1:GetAsync(plr.UserId) or 500 --You can replace 500 with how much you want the starting money to be at
11    ds1:SetAsync(plr.UserId, cash.Value)
12 
13    cash.Changed:connect(function()
14        ds1:SetAsync(plr.UserId, cash.Value)
15    end)
16end)

I see you are doing this:

`1`	`local` `Success, errormessage` `pcall(function()`

But where is =?

Try this:

`1`	`local` `Success, errormessage` `=` `pcall(function()`

There also could be some stuff about it in the output, this is where you should look for issues.

it just printing the errormessage in the out put Xx0966xX 41 — 4y
