Is there a way to make Data load slower to prevent Data store limits from being reached?

Is there some way to modify this code to prevent the Data Store limits from being reached if too many players join at once?

function CreateValue(Name, Parent, Value)
    Value = Value or 0
    local savevalue =  Instance.new('IntValue', Parent)
    savevalue.Name = Name
    savevalue.Value = Value
    return savevalue
end

function GetValue(uniquekey)
    -- GetAsync
    local GetSaved = DSService:GetAsync(uniquekey)
    if GetSaved then
        return GetSaved
    end
end



game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
    local uniquekey = ID..plr.userId
    local Levelss = Instance.new('IntValue', plr)
    Levelss.Name = leaderboardname
    for i,v in pairs(StatList) do
        local Stat = GetValue(i..uniquekey)
        if Stat then
            CreateValue(i, Levelss, Stat) --Old player load their value
        else
            CreateValue(i, Levelss, v) --New player load the default value
        end
    end
end)

My DataStore script is pretty big, so when too many players join it fills up the requests and makes them wait a while for their data to load in. Is there any way to maybe make it so player's can manually load data? Or add some sort of wait to ensure that the limits aren't reached?

Thanks for reading

You could try implementing a loading queue, and yielding until the data is actually available. This wouldn't necessarily solve your problems as it might make players experience longer than average load times.

So the other thing you can do is try to reduce the amount of work you're trying to do. Like is there anything that isn't immediately essential that you can perhaps load later?

In addition if you save all player data at the same time in 5 minute intervals you'll have a sudden spike in datastore usage meaning if players join afterwards there will be less load/save availability. So you might want to try spreading that out as well.

Just a couple thoughts, I hope this helps. I'd be really curious to see what is causing you to use so many resources. Good luck!
