Budgeting Inaccuracy?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello!
to summarize the issue, budget cost for UpdateAsync is not showing the actual cost left since its throttling!

local budget = DS:GetRequestBudgetForRequestType(Enum.DataStoreRequestType.UpdateAsync)

Running this right before my UpdateAsync call, is this a bug or is it perhaps an issue from my end?

What i personally assume is happening is since multiple servers are updating at roughly a similar time span, the budget is not updating fast enough but then how would i solve that?

The budget for DataStore access is per server, so your issue will not be related to multiple servers interacting with DataStoreService.

Could you share more of your code? Like the context that actually calls the DataStore method?

local function LINK(THROUGH_BOUND)
	if THROUGH_BOUND == false and BOUND == true then return end

		-- Check DataStore request budget before attempting
		local budget = DS:GetRequestBudgetForRequestType(Enum.DataStoreRequestType.UpdateAsync)

		-- If budget is low, wait or skip this iteration
		print(budget)
		if budget < 1 then
			print(budget)
			warn("Low DataStore budget. Waiting before retry.")
			wait(TRY_DELAY * (2 ^ (TRY - 1)))
			continue

	end 
end

if not game:GetService("RunService"):IsStudio() then
	game:BindToClose(function()
		BOUND = true 
		local SUCCESS, ERROR = pcall(function()
			LINK(true)
		end)
		if not SUCCESS then warn(ERROR) end
	end)

while true do
	if not BOUND then

			LINK(false)
		end)

			warn(ERROR)

	wait(Lib.Variables.EXIST.REFRESH_COOLDOWN)
end

there u go!
