Script time-out length not applied for plugins

Bug Reports Studio Bugs

#1

Repro steps:

  • Download the plugin, and move it into your %localappdata%/Roblox/Plugins directory (or equivalent)
    PluginThatFreezes.rbxmx (8.7 KB)
  • Open the plugin widget through its toolbar button, and click the “Freeze” button

Expected behavior:
Plugins should never be able to freeze Studio completely and should be subject to the Script Timeout length set through Studio Settings

Actual behavior:
Studio irrecoverably freezes, and must be manually terminated.

First experienced: 07/03/2025
Frequency: Always

In my own testing, I set the timeout length to 1 second. This occurs regardless of whether I have all Beta Features enabled or disabled.
