Hello, Developers.

I am making a DataStore system for a project and this pops up when I test:

API Services and HTTP Services are both enabled. Is this a bug with ROBLOX, or did I make a mistake in my code?

DataStore Module 
local module = {}

--// DATASTORE

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

--// GET DATASTORES

local Player_Data = DataStore:GetDataStore("PlayerData", 1)
local ToolsOwned = DataStore:GetDataStore("ToolsOwned", 1)
local BackpacksOwned = DataStore:GetDataStore("BackpacksOwned", 1)

--// PLAYER LEFT FUNCTION

function module.PlayerLeft(rPlr)
	rPlr:Destroy()
end

return module

Any contributions are greatly appreciated! (:

Apparently this issue has emerged a long time ago, they appear randomly, especially during weekends. This kind of error doesn’t need any change from the game itself(except sending a warning to players that DataStores failed to save). It will resolve itself eventually.

Did some research and the problem is very inconsistent. It might be at Roblox’s end, which we cannot resolve by our own hands.

You should have data store error handling implementation in place which handles errors.

example:

local save_these_player_ids_table = {}
local player_data  = {} --[playerid] = data ~ for each player

function save()
for x = 1, #save_these_player_ids_table do
--attempt to SetAsync(save_table[x], player_data[save_table[x]])
--if success then remove player id from save_these_player_ids_table
end

function add_player(playerid, data) --generic example
player_data[playerid] = data
end

function player_leaving(player)
table.insert(save_these_player_ids_table, player.UserId)
end

while true do
wait(60)
save()
end

In a perfect world, you wouldn’t have to worry about data store errors, but in all reality, the example I made above should handle some saving problems.

Note: In my example, save_table is referring to save_these_player_ids_table in case that was confusing
