This is caused by recursion. One of your scripts changes the value on value change(without a condition stopping it from looping), causing this.

Basically, it’s the following scenario:

--this also applies for GetPropertyChangedSignal
val.Changed:Connect(function(value)
	--example where the value doesn't stay constant
	val.Value = value+1
end)

Where the following are true:

  1. The value changes during its own changed event and doesn’t remain constant.
  2. There’s no yielding between each change(no task.wait or :Wait()).
  3. There’s no condition stopping this from recursing.

It may be hard to detect which part of your script changes the value without yielding, due to abstractions like module functions or communication between complex systems.
