Let me send both scripts, the data saving and the leaderboard:
DataService:
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local timeDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("timeDataStore")
local user
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
user = player
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
local timePlayed = Instance.new("IntValue")
timePlayed.Name = "TimePlayed"
timePlayed.Parent = leaderstats
local data
local success, errormessage = pcall(function(player)
data = timeDataStore:GetAsync(user.UserId)
end)
if success then
timePlayed.Value = data
else
warn("There was a serious error loading data. They have been kicked to prvent dataloss. Error message:".. errormessage)
user:Kick("There was a critical error loading your data. We had to kick you. Please provide this to the developer if this occurs again: ".. errormessage)
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
timeDataStore:SetAsync(user.UserId, player.leaderstats.TimePlayed.Value)
end)
if success then
print("Data has been saved!")
else
print("There was an error when saving data.")
print(errormessage)
end
end)
local amount = 1
local timename = "TimePlayed"
while true do
wait(60)
for i,v in pairs (game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if v:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") then
v.leaderstats[timename].Value = v.leaderstats[timename].Value + amount
end
end
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
timeDataStore:SetAsync(user.UserId, user.leaderstats.TimePlayed.Value)
end)
if success then
print("Data has been saved!")
else
print("There was an error when saving data.")
wait(errormessage)
end
end
LeaderboardHandler:
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local WinsLeaderboard = DataStoreService:GetOrderedDataStore("timeDataStore")
local function updateLeaderboard()
--local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
local Data = WinsLeaderboard:GetSortedAsync(false, 5)
local WinsPage = Data:GetCurrentPage()
for Rank, Data in ipairs(WinsPage) do
print(Data.key)
local userName = game.Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(tonumber(Data.key))
local Name = userName
local Time = Data.value
local isOnLeaderboard = false
for i, v in pairs (game.Workspace.GlobalLeaderboard.LeaderboardGUI.Holder:GetChildren()) do
if v.Player.Text == Name then
isOnLeaderboard = true
break
end
end
print(userName)
if Time and isOnLeaderboard == false then
local newLbFrame = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("LeaderboardFrame"):Clone()
newLbFrame.Player.Text = Name
newLbFrame.Time.Text = Time
newLbFrame.Rank.Text = "#"..Rank
newLbFrame.Position = UDim2.new(0, 0, newLbFrame.Position.Y.Scale + .08 * #game.Workspace.GlobalLeaderboard.LeaderboardGUI.Holder:GetChildren(), 0)
newLbFrame.Parent = game.Workspace.GlobalLeaderboard.LeaderboardGUI.Holder
end
end
end
while true do
for _, player in pairs (game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
WinsLeaderboard:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.leaderstats.TimePlayed.Value)
end
for _, frame in pairs (game.Workspace.GlobalLeaderboard.LeaderboardGUI.Holder:GetChildren()) do
frame:Destroy()
end
updateLeaderboard()
print("Updated Leaderboard")
wait(30)
end
Kind of a long shot, but can you try renaming the name of your datastore?
Good idea, this datastore name is totally messed up, so I’ll try that.
I’m hoping you’re just retrieving information that was “corrupted” by all the changes you made trying to solve this bug. I couldn’t find anything logically wrong with your code, but it is possible that I just missed something.

Yea i agree with @v7zr i don’t see anything wrong with it so it might have been corrupted but ive never heard of this problem and i’ve made 10’s of edits to a data store with data saved in it
Hopefully that works for you

WOW! HA HA, I CANNOT BELIVE I JUST WASTED THAT MUCH TIME ON THIS! 
Jokes aside, thank you so much @v7zr and @starnova224. Sorry for all the wasted time!

No it’s ok you didn’t waste any time that error was probably recent since the original error was nothing close to this
