what im trying to do is this:
when player hasn’t been punching for say, like 2.5 seconds, then it resets their combo back to 1

what ive tried doesnt really work, as it checks as the person is in their combo and resets it mid punching

This is my script:

local OnCoolDown = false
local CoolDownTime = 0.3
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = plr:GetMouse()
local TargetFound = false
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local hbEvent = rs.Events.hitbox2
local combo = 1
local h = plr.Character.Humanoid
local swing = script:WaitForChild("swing")
swing.Parent = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart
local Punching = false
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")



if h:GetState() == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping then
	print("Jump")
end

Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	local Can = game.ReplicatedStorage.AbleHit.Value
	if OnCoolDown == false and not plr.Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool") then
		Punching = true
		h.JumpHeight = 0
		h.JumpPower = 0
		print(Can)
		if combo == 1 then
			print("1")
			OnCoolDown = true
		combo = 2
		local track = h:LoadAnimation(script.Combo1)
		track:Play()
		swing:Play()
			hbEvent:FireServer()
		wait(CoolDownTime)
			h.JumpHeight = 7.5 
			h.JumpPower = 50
		Punching = false
		OnCoolDown = false
		return
		
		
		end
		
		if combo == 2 and not plr.Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool") then
			print("2")
			Punching = true
			OnCoolDown = true
			h.JumpHeight = 0
			h.JumpPower = 0
			combo = 3
			local track = h:LoadAnimation(script.Combo2)
			track:Play()
			swing:Play()
			hbEvent:FireServer()
			wait(CoolDownTime)
			Punching = false
			h.JumpHeight = 7.5
			h.JumpPower = 50
			OnCoolDown = false
			return


		end
		
		if combo == 3 and not plr.Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool") then
			print("3")
			Punching = true
			OnCoolDown = true
			h.JumpHeight = 0
			h.JumpPower = 0
			combo = 4
			local track = h:LoadAnimation(script.Combo3)
			track:Play()
			swing:Play()
			hbEvent:FireServer()
			wait(CoolDownTime)
			Punching = false
			h.JumpHeight = 7.5
			h.JumpPower = 50
			OnCoolDown = false
			return


		end
		
		if combo == 4 and not plr.Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool") and h:GetState() == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
			print("downslam")
			OnCoolDown = true
			h.JumpHeight = 0
			h.JumpPower = 0


			combo = 1
			local track = h:LoadAnimation(script.Downslam)
			track:Play()
			swing:Play()
			hbEvent.Parent.hitbox2Down:FireServer()
			plr.Character.sprint.Enabled = false
			wait(.01)
			plr.Character.plrStun.Value = true
			wait(.8)
			h.JumpHeight = 7.5
			h.JumpPower = 50
			plr.Character.plrStun.Value = false
			plr.Character.sprint.Enabled = true

			OnCoolDown = false
			return


		end
	
		
		if combo == 4 and not plr.Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool") then
			
			local Heldspace = uis:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.E)
			Punching = true
			h.JumpHeight = 0
			h.JumpPower = 0
			if Heldspace == true then
				combo = 1

				plr.Character.sprint.Enabled = true

				OnCoolDown = false
				return
			end
			print("4")
			Punching = true

Use tick in this situation.

Update the tick every time the player punches.

local start = tick() --tick

task.wait(1) -- wait 1 second
start = tick() -- set the start tick to 0 (use this when the player punches)
task.wait(2) -- wait two seconds

local final = tick()-start --how much time has passed since last tick update
print(final) --print final
