So I've just recently adopted FilteringEnabled which required me to change my scripting habits which lead me to my issue here. I'm making a sprint that should take stamina after every second,
however, the function can be spammed if the player chooses to repeatedly press Shift. So I made a debounce but I am having trouble making it work:

--Damage Attribute
function subToAttribute(attribute,  amount)
	print("SubToAttribute()")
	if attribute == "Health" then
		if health - amount >= 0 then
			health = health - amount
		end
	elseif attribute == "Stamina" then
		if stamina - amount >= 0 then
			stamina = stamina - amount
			regenStamina()
		end
	end
	RE_UpdateHUD:FireAllClients(player, {health, maxHealth}, {chakra, maxChakra}, {stamina, maxStamina})
end

function regenStamina()
	if staminaRegenerating == false then
		staminaRegenerating = true
		local character = player.Character
		character.Humanoid.Running:connect(detectPlayerMovement)
		while stamina < maxStamina do
			if staminaRegenPlayerMoving == false then
				print("Stamina Regenerated")
				addToAttribute("Stamina", 1)
				RE_UpdateHUD:FireAllClients(player, {health, maxHealth}, {chakra, maxChakra}, {stamina, maxStamina})
			else
				print("Is Moving, HALT")
				wait(5)
			end
			wait()
		end
		staminaRegenerating = false
	end
end

--Regen Stamina: Detect if Player Moved
function detectPlayerMovement(speed)
	wait()
	if speed > 16 then
		staminaRegenPlayerMoving = true
	else
		print("Stopped")
		staminaRegenPlayerMoving = false
	end
end
-- ACTIONS
sprintingStopped = true
sprintingInProgress = false
--<Variables>
sprintSpeed = 32
staminaSprintingCost = 3
--<Remote Events and Remote Functions>
RE_StartSprinting = replicatedStorage.Actions.StartSprinting
RE_EndSprinting = replicatedStorage.Actions.EndSprinting
--<Functions>
--Sprinting
function startSprinting()
 	local character = player.Character
	if sprintingStopped == true then
		sprintingStopped = false
		character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = sprintSpeed
		while sprintingStopped == false do
			wait(1)
			if sprintingInProgress == false then
				sprintingInProgress = true
				subToAttribute("Stamina", staminaSprintingCost)
				sprintingInProgress = false
			end
		end
	end
end
RE_StartSprinting.OnServerEvent:connect(startSprinting)

--Stop Sprinting
function endSprinting()
	local character = player.Character
	sprintingInProgress = false
	sprintingStopped = true
	character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
end
RE_EndSprinting.OnServerEvent:connect(endSprinting)

The issue is that the stamina doesn't always drain when it's expected to. When you hold shift (sprint) the stamina bar doesn't go down, however, if you run and rapidly let go of run (trigger endSprinting) and quickly go back into sprint mode then the stamina works. (you should really test for yourself to get a better picture).

If you need the client script:

player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
character = player.Character
sprintKey = Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift
stealthKey = Enum.KeyCode.LeftControl

RE_StartSprinting = replicatedStorage.Actions.StartSprinting
RE_EndSprinting = replicatedStorage.Actions.EndSprinting

-- SPRINTING
--<Variables>
fov = 70
camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
sprintAnimation = script.Animations.Sprint
sprintAnimation = character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(sprintAnimation)
-- Start Sprinting
function startSprinting(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
	if inputObject.KeyCode == sprintKey then
		RE_StartSprinting:FireServer(player)
		-- Animation
		sprintAnimation:Play()
		--FOV Effects
		for i=0, (fov-55) do
			wait()
			camera.FieldOfView = camera.FieldOfView + 1
		end
		camera.FieldOfView = fov
	end
end
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(startSprinting)

-- End Sprinting
function endSprinting(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
	if inputObject.KeyCode == sprintKey then
		RE_EndSprinting:FireServer(player)
		-- Stop Animation
		sprintAnimation:Stop()
		-- Undo FOV Effects
		for i=0, (fov-55) do
			wait()
			camera.FieldOfView = camera.FieldOfView - 1
		end
		camera.FieldOfView = 55

	end
end
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputEnded:connect(endSprinting)

Explanation: The script 'Template' is where the sprinting script is. Template is cloned and placed under Lobby where it's renamed as the Player who joined.

Sorry that this is an absolute mess! Debouncing stuff is usually pretty simple, and I'm betting that this is just a stupid mistake that's hiding in plain sight111!

Note: startSprinting is the function that should be requesting stamina to drain. This is the function with the debounce. sprintingStopped is the debounce that breaks the while loop to stop running, and sprintingInProgress is the debounce that tells the while loop not to spam the stamina drain.
