I am doing a regeneration system of something that works with an int value but I can only detect when it changes and not when it stops changing, what do I do?

it is like knowing if something is not changed from time to time

Well you can put in a delay after it changes and run code after that if it hasn’t changed again. Something like this

local lastChange = tick()
local changedValue = function()
    local thisChange = tick()
    lastChange = thisChange
    wait(3)
    if lastChange == thisChange then
        --hasn’t changed in about 3 seconds. 
    end
end

There are a few ways to do this. You could check to see if Humanoid.Health == Humanoid.MaxHealth then run some code. Most regeneration scripts have a set regeneration time if the person’s health doesn’t change in this time then run some code.

local intValue = workspace.IntValue

local lastChanged = tick()

intValue.Changed:Connect(function(int)
	lastChanged = tick()
	task.delay(3, function()
		if intValue.Value == int then
			--Value hasn't changed.
		end
	end)
end)
