Stamina server handling

I got a question, I made a module, and this module is replicated from the server to every client. When its running my server receive goes all the way up to 3kb/s. It may not sound like a lot but that’s only for one player. I was wondering what is way to reduce that or a better way of doing this:

local RegenStaminaTask

local IsRegenerating = false
local Interrupted = false

return function (Player)
	local Character = Player.Character
	
	while not Player:GetAttribute("IsLoaded") do
		task.wait()
	end
	
	local OldStamina = Player:GetAttribute("Stamina")

	-- Stamina attribute change connection
	Player:GetAttributeChangedSignal("Stamina"):Connect(function()
		local Stamina = Player:GetAttribute("Stamina")
		local MaxStamina = Player:GetAttribute("MaxStamina")
		local Hunger = Player:GetAttribute("Hunger")

		local RegenAmount = (0.1 / 100) * MaxStamina

		-- Handle zero stamina
		if Stamina <= 0 then
			Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
		end

		-- Check if Stamina decreased or player is sprinting/dashing
		if Stamina < OldStamina then
			Interrupted = true
			if RegenStaminaTask then
				task.cancel(RegenStaminaTask)
			end
			IsRegenerating = false
		end

		-- Start a new regeneration task if not already regenerating
		if not IsRegenerating then
			RegenStaminaTask = task.delay(0.5, function()
				Interrupted = false
				IsRegenerating = true

				while not Interrupted and Stamina < MaxStamina do
					task.wait(0.01)

					Stamina = math.min(Stamina + RegenAmount, MaxStamina)
					Hunger = math.max(Hunger - HungerDecrease, 0)

					Player:SetAttribute("Stamina", Stamina)
					Player:SetAttribute("Hunger", Hunger)
				end

				IsRegenerating = false
			end)
		end

		OldStamina = Stamina
	end)

	--Decrease staminaa by a tiny bit to trigger regeneration
	Player:SetAttribute("Stamina", OldStamina - 0.001)
end

I was also wondering maybe its cause its being replicated to every client. I don’t really know. Here is the script that replicates it.

return function (Players : Players)

	local function PlayerAdded(Player)
		local Character = Player.Character

		local function CharacterAdded()	

			for	_, Module in script:GetChildren() do
				if Module:IsA("ModuleScript") then
					task.defer(require(Module),Player)
				end
			end		
		end
		
		Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(CharacterAdded)
		
		if Character then
			CharacterAdded()
		end		
	end	
	
	Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(PlayerAdded)
	
	for _, player in Players:GetPlayers() do
		PlayerAdded(player)
	end
	
end

Any more question let me know.

1000kbs = 1mb
1000mb = 1gb

(most computers have 8+ gbs of ram)
(most mobile devices have atleast 4 gbs)

it would take over 300 players to even gain 1mb, which roblox server would just crash atp+you cannot even set server size to 300

you’ll be fine.

#3

I’ve read a lot however, that it should be kept below 50kb/s. As Roblox will just queue up that data causing server lag and increase client ping and lower performance

#4

you are saying memory should be kept under 50 kbs?
(literally impossible)

games should aim for 400-800mb’s of memory.

#5

Not memory the server receive:

Aka this, I am referring to networking.

:man_facepalming:
thats the internet receive, if your testing on studio its going to be higher than normal (just like almost every other stat, such as memory etc.)

#7

Its the same in-game as it is in studio, yea thats my bad i forgot the name

This is when the regen is active in game. However when its depleting it looks like this:
