Do these functions take from the datastore budget?

Do the deprecated player functions :LoadString :LoadBool :LoadNumber and :SaveString :SaveBool :SaveNumber take from the data store budget? (note im not talking about the internal loadstring function, im talking about the player functions)

Those are deprecated and I'm pretty sure they are part of Data Persistence.

They are not related to datastores at all

@kingdom5 Note I'm referring to the deprecated player functions, not the internal loadstring function. Sorry if for not clarifying.

These do not, as they're not a part of DataStore but DataPersistance, the deprecated things.

It's not recommended to use these at all for data storage. They're very inconsistant.

Eg. They don't even load / save all the time, causing massive data losses.

Thanks, I've been helping a friend update his stat save system from those functions to actual data stores.
