So basically, I have a Plate saving system, and looks like people likes my game!
So, every time they buy car, they get plate, but for some reason, it looks like there’s a lot of plates.
How can I fix this?
I’m saving plates like this:

	local save = _G["GamePlates"]
	PlatesData:SetAsync(usid, save)
table.insert(_G["GamePlates"],{plate ,plr.Name,VehicleModel})

Also, another question, will the system of plate work?
Like when it finds another plate similar? it finds other?

Are you saving plates made or are you giving a random plate name if your giving a random plate name find a random plate name website use http service and check their api json.decode it then choose a random name from that

Yes, I am saving plates obviously, but I don’t know how to properly save them, I’ve hear I could https encode the data and to retrieve https decode, but, will this work? and how can I do it?

The thing ur trying to save is over the 260k character limit. What are you even saving? Try printing HttpService:JSONEncode(save)

You can save tables fine without encoding them; encoding won’t help. The issue here is that your table is too big.

Save a smaller table instead. You can’t save that much data without splitting it up across multiple datastores.

Hmm, but, than big games like, New Haven County right, they save the plate, even when there’s probably stored like 1M+ Plates.
How do you think they might be doing it?

Also, another question, for datastores, can I do Ipairs loop on it?
like

for i,v in ipairs(datastoreser:GetDataStore('hi')) do print(i,v) end

Will this return all the values?

No, you’d have to individually GetAsync each key. Games store data like that by splitting it across multiple data stores, generally.
