Roblox DataStores Are Down

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I wrote this script a couple weeks ago, and it was working fine. Datastore working fine.

Now today, it returns HTTP 500 (Internal Server Error) like 4 times, and I do not know what to do.

Here is my script:

PlayerInitHandler.lua (located in ServerScriptService)

-- made by recanman
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local ds2 = require(1936396537) -- ds2 module, downloading it here so I don't slow it down

	repeat wait() until (plr.Character ~= nil)
	ds2.Combine("DATA", "Coins", "WritingDevices", "Ink", "RedeemedCodes")
	
	local coinsDs = ds2("Coins", plr)
	local wdDs = ds2("WritingDevices", plr)
	local inkDs = ds2("Ink", plr)
	
	local ls = Instance.new("StringValue", plr)
	ls.Name = "leaderstats"
	
	local coins = Instance.new("IntValue", ls)
	coins.Name = "Coins"
	coins.Value = coinsDs:Get(0)
	
	local iv = Instance.new("Folder", plr.Character)
	iv.Name = "InkValues"
		
	local ink = Instance.new("IntValue", iv)
	ink.Name = "Ink"
	
	local maxInk = Instance.new("IntValue", iv)
	maxInk.Name = "MaxInk"
	
	local currentWd = Instance.new("StringValue", plr)
	currentWd.Name = "CurrentWritingDevice"
	
	local currentInk = Instance.new("StringValue", plr)
	currentWd.Name = "CurrentInk"
	
	for _, child in ipairs(game.ReplicatedStorage.Assets.WritingDevices:GetChildren()) do
		if (child:IsA("Tool")) then
			local settings = require(child.Settings)
			
			if (settings.Order == wdDs:Get(1)) then
				print("Found WritingDevice for " .. plr.Name .. ", named " .. child.Name .. ", tier " .. settings.Order)
				child:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
				currentWd.Value = child.Name
			end
		end
	end
	
	for _, child in ipairs(game.ReplicatedStorage.Assets.Ink:GetChildren()) do
		if (child:IsA("BasePart")) then
			local settings = require(child.Settings)

			if (settings.Order == inkDs:Get(1)) then
				print("Found Ink for " .. plr.Name .. ", named " .. child.Name .. ", tier " .. settings.Order)
				ink.Value = settings.Ink
				maxInk.Value = ink.Value
				currentInk.Value = child.Name
			end
		end
	end
	
	coins.Changed:Connect(function()
		coinsDs:Set(coins.Value)
	end)
end)

HTTP 500 means the error happened on the side of the server you sent the request to.
Baiscally it means the Roblox datastores are down for now.

Yeah I understand that I just wanted to confirm it, I thought I did something wrong. So I should just wait for now?

Why not just download the module itself and then require it from there?

I don’t really like doing that, I prefer the updated version. And anyways, I’m saving to datastore so it will throw an error anyway.
