Most of the time when I save the players data:

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	print("player leaving")
	local foodVal = plr.leaderstats.Food.Value
	local totalfoodVal = plr.leaderstats["Total Food"].Value
	--save
	print("loaded values to save")
	local tries = 0	
	local success,err
	repeat
		print("loop")
		tries = tries + 1
		print("about to pcall")
		success,err = pcall(function()
			print("in pcall")
			totalFoodDs:UpdateAsync(plr.UserId,function()
				print("in the update function")
				return totalfoodVal
			end)
			print("set")
		end)
		print("pcalled")
		if not success then wait(1) print("waiting cus fail") end
	until tries == 3 or success
	if not success then
		warn("Failed To SAVE Total Food Data! UserId: "..plr.UserId.." err: "..err )
	end
end)

It just prints:

player leaving
loaded values to save
loop
about to pcall
in pcall

But other times it prints:

player leaving
loaded values to save
loop
about to pcall
in pcall
in the update function
set
pcalled
