datastore doesnt save player data?

my leaderboard script doesnt save my minutes after i buy something, it reverts back to however many i had before i bought the item for however many minutes

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService") local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("TimeStats")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder") leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats" leaderstats.Parent = player

local Minutes = Instance.new("IntValue")
Minutes.Name = "Minutes"
Minutes.Parent = leaderstats

local UserID = "Player_".. player.UserId

local Data
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
	Data = DataStore:GetAsync(UserID)
end)
if success and Data then
	
	Minutes.Value = Data.Minutes
	
end

coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()
	while true do
		wait(60)
		Minutes.Value = Minutes.Value + 1
	end
end))

end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player) local UserID = "Player_".. player.UserId

local minutes = player.leaderstats.Minutes

local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
	DataStore:SetAsync(UserID, minutes)
end)

if success then
	print("Data Successfully Saved")
else
	print("Could Not Save Data")
	warn (errormessage)
end

end)

here is my buy script, its copy pasted and altered for other items but this is the basic template

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer local croissant = game.ReplicatedStorage.Croissant local backpack = player.Backpack local remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.Buy

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() if player.leaderstats.Minutes.Value >= 2 then player.leaderstats.Minutes.Value -= 2 croissant:Clone() croissant.Parent = backpack script.Disabled = true else script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.ErrorMessage.Visible = true wait(2) script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.ErrorMessage.Visible = false end

end)

I suppose this is a local script since you are reaching the LocalPlayer. Local scripts are not synced with the server. What I suggest doing is using a remote event that fires from the LS (local script) to the SS (server script). Then the SS accepts the event and subtracts the user's minutes there. Hope this helps!
