Tons of datastore throttling errors?
SaveData = function(plr)
local ls = plr:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
local saveready = plr:FindFirstChild("SR")
if ls ~= nil and saveready ~= nil then
if saveready.Value == true then
local Coins = ls:FindFirstChild("Coins")
local Level = ls:FindFirstChild("Level")
local EXP = plr:FindFirstChild("EXP")
if Coins ~= nil and Level ~= nil and EXP ~= nil then
local tableofstats = {
Coins.Value,
Level.Value,
EXP.Value
}
local function AttemptSave()
local success, msg = pcall(function()
GetData = PlayersStats:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
end)
if success then
if GetData then
pcall(function()
PlayersStats:UpdateAsync(plr.UserId, function()
return tableofstats
end)
end)
else
pcall(function()
PlayersStats:SetAsync(plr.UserId, tableofstats)
end)
end
return true
else
return false
end
end
local savetest = AttemptSave()
if savetest == false then
wait(10)
local savetest2 = AttemptSave()
end
end
end
end
end
This is my datastore script, I used to have an autosave function in a while wait(120) loop (every 2 mins) and when the player leaves and I got tons of errors with datastore throttling and data loss reports which was confusing me because when I looked at the budget everything seemed ok. Now I'm only saving when the player leaves but there is still lots of datastore throttling errors and I get reports of data loss. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

You are probably calling this function way too often, and every time you call it (no matter how often or at what frequency), it will definitely try to save once, and if it fails the first time, it will try to save twice.
That is why you might want to add the code that calls the SaveData function, and then also add everything related to that caller code, e.g.:
- Is the caller code in a single script?
- Could it be that
SaveDatais called by code that is not properly debounced, e.g. from aTouchedevent handler? - Could it be that the caller script gets copied, thereby increasing the chance of the script being called multiple times?
And so on...
The key: Make sure, you don't try to call any code that loads or saves data too many times.
