local dataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("randommeusumtime")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)

    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    leaderstats.Parent = plr

    local points = Instance.new("IntValue")
    points.Name = "Time" 
    points.Value = dataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
    points.Parent = leaderstats
    while true do
        wait(1)
        points.Value = points.Value + 1
    end

end)

game:BindToClose(function()
    for _,plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        dataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId, plr.leaderstats.Time.Value)
    end   
end)

API Services are also activated, dont know why this isn't saving, as there is no errors.

    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    leaderstats.Parent = plr

    local points = Instance.new("IntValue")
    points.Name = "Time" 
    points.Value = dataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId) or 0
    points.Parent = leaderstats
    -- Here's where you actually messed up, running a while loop pauses the whole thread. Using spawn function creates a separate thread to run the loop.
    spawn(function()
    while true do
        wait(1)
        points.Value = points.Value + 1
    end
end)
end)

game:BindToClose(function()
    for _,plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        dataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId, plr:WaitForChild('leaderstats'):WaitForChild('Time').Value)
    end   
end)

Hope this helps!
